The vast majority of radio play-by-play guys are hopelessly behind the action, including those featured on Westwood One. Keels rattles off the action in greater detail and speed than anyone I've heard. I'll take that any day over:
Lucas receives the pass.
*Crowd roars for dunk*
Lucas dumps it in to Suton.
Suton dribbles, throws a backdoor pass.
Allen catches, lifts off...
and throws down the thunderous dunk!
Gus Johnson goes nuts 75 times a game, and has no comparison to the "low hanging fruit" you typically get on the radio.

Agreed. I mentioned it in another thread, but I've listened to numerous other schools games on Sirius, and he is a very good play-by-play man, even if he is a bit vanilla. The Texas Tech and Oklahoma games I listened to were just dreadful with their "colorful" announcers. A bunch of babbling morons.
Keels may not bring the most emotion to the game, but he seems to recognize that folks listen to the game to know what's happening, not just to listen to his voice.
