You have to forgive Patrick Ewing for being just a bit too excited following Georgetown's 88-80 win at Illinois on Tuesday night. After an illustrious playing career (As a Knicks fan, I long for the days of No. 33 roaming the paint at THE GARDEN), Ewing toiled as an NBA assistant coach — never even getting a sniff from the Knicks (What happened to “Once a Knick, ALWAYS a Knick”?!) — for nearly 15 years before finally landing a head coaching gig at his alma mater, Georgetown. And after an expected difficult first season in which he guided the Hoyas to a 15-15 record, the big fella is now on the verge of a big season.

The soothing, melodic tones of Jim Nantz announcing a golf tournament are unlike any other. He is, as the kids would say, the GOAT of golf broadcasting of our generation.
So imagine you actually had the legendary CBS announcer using his hushed voice to call your putts in a casual round of golf? That's what tour pro Maverick McNealy got to experience—as Nantz used his iPhone to deliver a call so smooth that it sounded like it was from the tower at the 18th hole.
To the keen observer, though, this was simply the green at the par-5 10th hole at Monterey Peninsula's Shore course, down the road of Nantz's house off Pebble Beach (with his legendary backyard replica of the iconic seventh hole at Pebble). McNealy had the good fortune of playing with Nantz—who admitted to us he doesn't always enjoy putting his game on public display when he has a rare off day from his 245 days of traveling a year.
Unfortunately, we didn't get a look at Nantz's own game, as has rare..
