[edit] Notes

  • Apparently, the only 1974 CBS crew was Pat Summerall, Rick Barry (so best guess is that this crew worked all of the 1974 games)
  • Best guess is that Keith Jackson, Bill Russell worked all of the 1973 games.
  • I remember Roger Twibell and Dick Vitale working an earlier round game for ESPN in 1983, so they may have worked the 1983 and/or 1984 ESPN games.
  • I remember Al Albert and Steve Jones doing games for USA, so they may have worked the 1983 and/or 1984 USA games.
  • I assume Musburger and probably Loughery were involved in 1982.
  • I assume Musburger, Russell, and Hundley were involved in 1980.
  • I assume Musburger and Barry were involved in 1978.
