I can't believe they still have him on. I think he's been a little better this year with staying on topic and not arguing, which is barely an improvement. Still the worst of the worst. Last year I went to the bother of using some audio delay software and a couple of computers to sync up the Eugene radio announcers.

Disagree.  Walton is fantastic.

1. He get's off topic more than any other announcer by bringing up off the wall topics like volcanoes and rock musicians from decades ago. This is especially obnoxious when big plays and moments in the game are taking place. 
2. Even when he's on the topic of basketball it usually involves himself with references of Dr. J. or what not that has absolutely nothing to do with the game.
3. Nobody has a bigger ego and he can't let anything go and constantly pokes his fellow announcers for no good reason. 
4. He hardly knows anything about the players on the court let alone their names.He really doesn't know much about college basketball in general.
5 He can't stop talking about the "conference of champions" and makes the Pac 12 look like a laughing stock.
Just my opinion of course and I know a number of other people like him like you do. It just surprises me that they keep someone so unprofessional around when it seems like literally half the fans consider him one of the worst announcers of all time.

Might have banged his head on the backboard once too often.

As someone who does not get the Pac-12 Network and either can follow the games televised on there on my ESPN app or listen to the radio broadcast...listening to Walton is a breath of fresh air. I am tired of cliche announcers and homer announcers....there is no better advocate for the Conference of Champions than Bill Walton. He does a better job promoting the Pac-12 than Larry Scott, that is for sure.
