For a ride that has so many things broken – truly broken – Washington State’s athletic department sure spends a lot of time fiddling with the radio. Now the Cougars and their IMG College partners are at it again, and there’s another casualty. Bud Nameck – voice of Cougar basketball for 22 seasons, more recently play-by-play man and traffic cop in an odd and challenging football booth and, most of all, the ultimate good soldier – is out. Replacing him at the microphone is … some guy. OK, that’s not particularly fair to Matt Chazanow, who will slide in between Jason Gesser and Bob Robertson this fall. Welcome to him and good luck, and apologies here for not being a good sport, all ways. But that’s what he is, at least at the moment – some guy/ John Blanchette , SR. More here .
