Austin Carr to retire as color commentator after this season

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
That old fucker will retire when the mic dies and the kick him outa the Q...……………..
 
lol old thread
 
April 1, aka Dumb Christmas
 
AC is 71 years old now. Wonder how many more years he's going to feel like going on the west coast trips and continue to do all of the pregame prep, etc.

I will say one thing, I actually think he's gotten pretty good at commentating this year. Since we kind of suck ass and he's not just screaming "OHHH LEBRON JAMES TO THE HOOP" every thirty seconds, I've noticed he's actually thrown in a decent amount of insight. Better than he has been in the past for sure.

It would be hilarious he announces his retirement on 4/1.
 
I like when he says, "That team's shooting percentage is 47%, so if you give them a second shot, they will make it nine times out of ten." Guess Austin wasn't a math major at Notre Dame.

He is pretty close. Remember he is talking about giving the opponent a 2nd shot at the basket.

10 missed shots followed by 9 out of 10 made shots.
9 shots made out of 20 shots total is 45%.

Whether you've made or missed your last shot has zero impact on your odds of hitting the next one. That's what Austin apparently does not understand.

ETA: But it does explain why he likes chuckers!

I hope you are kidding.
 
I realize this is being done for 12 straight years. Time flies.
One of these days he will retire but will be missed greatly.
