RIP John Andariese

[NoLayupRule]

Johnny Hoops was a great tv and radio anaysist

I had the pleasure to meet him
He was a real class act

Rip

He was the epitome of class and a pleasure to listen to. Our franchise has been a train wreck for a long time but we've always been blessed with fantastic announcers. Rest in peace...

I met Jonny Hoops twice. The first time was after a Fordham UMass game (I also met Marcus Camby and John Calipari that night). The second time I met him was in midtown manhattan. Both times we spoke we had great conversations that lasted about a half an hour each time. I remember asking him why they took him off television and put him on the radio. He said because of Issaih. I said is he really a bad guy? Jonny Hoops didn't hesitate to say yes he is. As far as I'm concerned he's the GOAT commentator. Rip Jonny Hoops.

Definitely a big part of my childhood. First class all the way. Had unbelievable chemistry with Marv back in the day. Peace OG.

It blows my mind that this **** is the owner of our team.

Very few things surprise me with Dolan, but to act like this to such a class act like John Andariese is unfathomable.
RIP to a legend...

Dolan, I hope you find yourself alone with Oakley in a dark alley one night. Bout time someone teaches you respect...

Johnny Hoops probably didnt kiss Dolan's butt. If Dolan hated him, makes me respect the man even more.
