Does anyone know why he doesn't do analysis anymore?

I don't recall why he was off the air for so long, either. Maybe related?

Family sued him and around that time he disappeared.

His family did sue him right?

Yeah, it was a very ugly situation with some kids claiming abuse (which they later recanted, if I recall correctly). The team distanced themselves from Calvin during that time because it did look very, very bad. I still don't know the full details (don't really want to), but from what I do know it sounds like a very tragic situation where many members of that family were exploited, and all of them were hurt.

I do miss the Bill & Calvin team. They were so much fun to have calling the games.

Thanks from another poster. I don't like the Rocket's announcer team. I can't stand Clyde getting down on some of the players as he does while propping up others. Worrell does some of that too. I like Murph's analysis of the game and I agree with his assessments.

He had a radio show on 97.5 for a few years between Rockets letting him go and bringing him back. It was pretty good since they mostly talked about basketball unlike most of the AM talk show hosts in this town.

I thought 2 of his daughters claimed sexual abuse or something then recanted (I hope it isn't true)

I loved bill and Calvin


I Like Matt Bullard with bill too but Clyde is so awful (still love him though)
