Word association with Clark Kellogg
Mar 24, 2011
Written by Mike Wells
[email protected]

The NCAA Tournament was full of all that and more the first weekend.

CBS lead analyst Clark Kellogg said there's a possibility those trends will continue this weekend during the Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight games.

"It's been just what we anticipated," Kellogg said. "Every year we expect a few surprises. You expect some compelling games, and I think we had all of that in the first weekend."

Kellogg, who is also the TV analyst for the Indiana Pacers, took time out from his hectic NBA and college schedule for some word association with The Indianapolis Star's Mike Wells about the tournament.

Favorites to win the title

"In alphabetical order, you have to go Duke, Kansas and Ohio State. Those teams have been around all season."

VCU

"On a roll. As hot as skillet grease."

Sleeper team

"BYU. Jimmer Fredette knows how to put the ball in the basket."

Officiating

"I'd give them a nine so far. I think the situations that drew the most attention, they handled them all, in my opinion, the right way. The fouls in the Butler-Pitt game. The Texas-Arizona game with the five-second call. The UNC-Washington game, that situation was handled well. I never thought the officiating was ever an issue."

Butler coach Brad Stevens

"A balanced, humbled coaching star."

Player who needs to carry his team

"It's got to be the little fella at UConn, Kemba Walker. He's been doing it all season and he has to continue doing it."

San Diego State

"The sum of the whole is better than the individual parts. They're a team, not a team with one player carrying them."

Best coach remaining

"You're hard-pressed to go against (Duke) coach (Mike) Krzyzewski. He's got a vast array of experience. Olympic team, World Championship team, multiple titles, on the verge of passing Bob Knight for most wins. It doesn't get any better than Coach K."

Team likely to pull off an upset to reach the Final Four

"VCU is an 11 seed and they're playing a 10 seed (Florida State). I don't think either one of those teams will beat Kansas. I would say if it's going to happen, it'll be Richmond."

Clark Kellogg's Ohio State challenge
By Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY
Ex-players turned analysts on college hoops used to be college stars themselves. Meaning, they have alma maters and face questions about whether they're objective about them on-air.

But with NCAA men's tournament top-seed Ohio State, CBS lead analyst Clark Kellogg isn't just an ex-Buckeye star still living in Columbus ? he's on the school's board of trustees.

He has to sound objective on-air, and says he hears from fans at home that he should pull more for the Buckeyes. But he's human: "I'm a fan, I love the university and I'm involved with it and want all its teams to do well. No question, I'm a proud alumnus. ? But I have a job to do. I never cheer."

Jim Nantz, Kellogg's on-air partner, says if the Buckeyes are about to win the title game he'd stay silent and let Kellogg call the final moments. "I think he was serious," says Kellogg, adding that he's not already practicing lines. "I try not to over-rehearse anyway, it can stifle spontaneity."

He does, however, carry a notebook to jot down any snippets of language he can turn into on-air catchphrases. Kellogg, who also calls 20-25 Indiana Pacers local TV games, says "basketball is a pretty redundant game so it helps if analysis can connect to something everybody can relate to." Which makes food ideal: "I'm big on food analogies because everybody eats."

That's led to "squeeze the orange" (grabbing a rebound) and "buffet-style, plenty of seconds" (getting repeated offensive rebounds) and fouls that are "good cholesterol" or "bad cholesterol," meaning smart or dumb fouls. But "spurtability" doesn't refer to mustard bottles. It dates back Kentucky's 1996 team going on scoring spurts.

And who decides what phrases get on his on-air menu? "My wife is my sounding board. If she gives me the high eyebrows, they don't go in my notebook."

Kellogg strayed from food last weekend in recalling CBS/Turner colleague Charles Barkley as a rebounder with "the arms of an orangutan." He says he meant it to be "endearing. ? It wasn't a characterization of him. I could have said 'wings of a condor.' " With candor.

Pacers Around the House with Clark Kellogg
August 2, 2011

Eddie White: Eddie White here. Another installment of the award-winning - we haven't figured out the award yet. But the award winning Around the House - Conseco Fieldhouse. Every week we go around the place, find somebody and try to bring them into your home so you can know more about your Indiana Pacers, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, and the Indiana Fever. And today, this might be the biggest name we got in the building

Clark Kellogg: I wouldn't go that far!

White: Larry Bird is going to call me and say," What are you talkin about?"

Kellogg: That's right.

White: Clark Kellogg, our Vice President of Player Relations. Welcome to the show.
Click to expand...
White: I find it ironic, you never live in the Hoosier state, and here?s a Buckeye, born through and through ? born in Cleveland, a high school legend in Ohio, there?s a great college career at Ohio State, and, but, it started when this franchise picks you in the first round ? this, this love affair, this long distance, mid distance, short distance, began, and you, you are an Indiana Pacer. There?s a Pacer logo in that soul.

Kellogg: Oh, without question. It?s divided between the scarlet and gray one, but it clearly is. I mean, my wife and I came here in 1982; we weren?t married then, but got married in ?83. All three of our children were born here. We grew up as a couple here. We lived here for ten years without the immediate support of family. And we had a family here in this community and I embraced the community as a player, even though our years were lean on the court. We put our anchor here. I mean, this is where we made home for nine years and that doesn?t leave you when you associate with the kind of people we had the privilege of associating with. To maintain the connection with the franchise with broadcast, even though we headed back to Ohio in ?93, has really our family, my wife and I particularly residents of two places really, in our hearts anyway, I mean, certainly for me. I don?t want to put words in her mouth, but for me I consider it I?ve got two adult homes. I grew up in Cleveland, but my two adult homes have been here and Columbus.

Kellogg shares stories from career in basketball
By MICHAEL A. LOUGH - [email protected]

Clark Kellogg knows he has had a blessed life.

From his basketball career in college and the NBA to becoming one of the television voices of college basketball, Kellogg is a man with no complaints.

12LAr8.Em.71.jpg

GRANT BLANKENSHIP/THE TELEGRAPH Macon, GA 11/01/11 Clark Kellogg, a college basketball analyst for CBS and former NBA player, speaks during the annual Mercer Tipoff Banquet at the University Center on the Mercer University campus Tuesday evening.

It only took him a few decades to get his wife to become a believer in his career path.

Included in her whimsical skepticism was why colleges, schools and organizations sought his services for events like Mercer?s annual Tipoff Banquet on Tuesday night at the University Center.

?I understand that sports is highly esteemed in the world of our society, I know that you had a pretty successful playing career in college and the pros,? Kellogg said, quoting his wife. ?I know that you enjoy some notoriety as a commentator, which you?ve been doing for 20-plus years.

?But in the days that we?ve been married, and courting, what is it that you have to say that?s of value when you?ve never had a real job??

Kellogg noted that his days on the college and pro courts and then to the broadcast studio and sideline.

?As much as I would like to rebut her, she?s right,? he said. ?That kind of work is so much fun and so enjoyable, it?s actually hard to call it work.?

Kellogg followed a stellar career at Ohio State with five years in the NBA, knee injuries cutting short his time as a pro. His broadcasting stock rose quickly, and he was on ESPN, the Big East Network and with the Indiana Pacers soon after retiring.

College Basketball Q&A with Clark Kellogg

Athlon Sports? Braden Gall had a chance to sit down with CBS College Basketball analyst Clark Kellogg to preview the 2011-2012 NCAA Basketball season. You can follow Braden on twitter at @AthlonBraden.

Braden Gall: The college basketball season is upon us, but first, the Capital One Cup is awarded annually to each of the best men?s and women?s college athletic programs. Talk about your involvement in the Capital One Cup.

Clark Kellogg: This is my second year on the advisory board of the Capital One Cup, and we had a fantastic first year. There have been some sports added and there are now 20 women?s sports and 19 men?s sports that can vie for the Capital One Cup. It is a competition that goes year-round and encompasses the fall, winter and spring sports that have championships. Schools can earn points by finishing in the top ten of the final polls of their respective sports, and then each winning program will receive not only the Capital One Cup Trophy but $200,000 each for their scholarship fund designated for post-graduate for former student athletes.

You can get all the information at CapitalOneCup.com as well as Facebook.com/CapitalOneCup and Twitter.com/CapitalOneCup. So I am looking forward to it again for Year Two. It is a great way to engage fans and reward excellence on the field through scholarship dollars.

Gall: Every season we see a ridiculous influx of young freshman talent. Who are the names we will see right off the bat make the biggest impact?

Kellogg: I?ve got all the names down but I have normally refrained from watching them too much in high school because it doesn?t always translate to college. But in terms of names, you?ve got a bunch of them at Kentucky. Anthony Davis, Michael Gilchrist, Marquis Teague, Shannon Scott at Ohio State, Austin Rivers at Duke, Myc Kabongo at Texas and Quincy Miller at Baylor. I mean, these are all guys that have tremendous reputations coming out of high school, and it is always fun for me to see how they pan out in their new respective environments. And we will have some freshmen that perhaps aren?t as highly touted that might be more productive than some of the guys I just mentioned. So that is part of the fun for me to see how these guys handle all of the things that are new and challenging about being a Division I college basketball player.

Kellogg?s All About Changing Lives
Former star helps athletes to grow

WHEELING - Clark Kellogg is more than just a college basketball analyst. He's changing lives.

Kellogg is most recognized as Jim Nantz's color man on CBS Sports' college basketball telecasts. But his ''real'' job is with the NBA's Indiana Pacers.

As the team's Vice President of Player Relations, the former longtime Pacers broadcaster and former Indiana standout is responsible for molding players' lives off the court.

Former Ohio State star and current CBS College Basketball announcer and Indiana Pacers VP of PR Clark Kellog signs a souvenir for a fan during Thursday night?s CRC dinner.

''My whole goal and purpose is to help navigate their lives as men while they're pro players,'' Kellogg said at a private reception prior to Thursday night's ''An Evening With Clark Kellogg'' at Oglebay's Glessner Auditorium.

Kellogg has three children. One of them, Nick, is a sophomore and plays basketball at Ohio University.

As for his alma mater, Kellogg has been impressed with its strong start.

''They have enough ammunition,'' he said, noting the core of Jared Sullinger, Aaron Craft and William Buford. ''But I think to be elite the emergence of a couple of their bench guys will be important going forward.''

Kellogg sees, in no particular order, Connecticut, Syracuse, Kentucky, North Carolina and Baylor as the top teams in the country, along with Ohio State and Vanderbilt.

Syracuse will be moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference soon and Kellogg said the seismic shift in college athletics isn't finished.

''It's like wet cement for me,'' he said. ''There will be some more movement, I think. I'm not quite sure how it will play out.

''I don't like the big conferences from a basketball standpoint because it makes for unbalanced schedules. I'm a traditionalist. I would like to see everyone play round-robin.

''But the horse is out of the barn. Football is what moves the needle. And I understand that.''

Kellogg speaks from hoop heart
Pete Dougherty, TV/Radio

Off Wednesday night's overtime victory over Georgetown, second-ranked Syracuse faces another test Saturday when Connecticut comes to town. Clark Kellogg will be there, which is no surprise, since his role as lead college basketball analyst for CBS take him to a lot of big games.

Kellogg, 50, entered broadcasting after his career as a 6-foot-7 NBA forward ended because of injuries in 1986. He began at ESPN and joined CBS in 1993, replacing Billy Packer as lead game analyst in 2008-09. Until this season Kellogg also worked Indiana Pacers games, two years on radio and 22 on TV.

As college basketball heads down the home stretch, Kellogg took time to chat about the game and his career.

Do you see a dominant team in college basketball this season?

"I don't. We've had a couple of years where we felt there was a dominant team out there. You can go to 2009 and North Carolina. You can go to '05 and look at Illinois and North Carolina. Those teams managed to get to the championship game, and they were consensus top two teams all year long. Kansas was there in 2008. We don't have that kind of team this year.

"Syracuse is in the group. I still think UConn is in the group of teams you'd have to consider a chance to win it, along with Ohio State, Kentucky. Baylor is very talented. Kansas probably falls into the group. After that, you look at Duke and Missouri, Florida, Vanderbilt, teams like that, but there's no clear-cut, consensus favorite."

Is this the time of year that fans start getting excited about college basketball, now that football is over?

"The magnifying glass heats up a little bit. The ardent fans have been there since the start. They've had their attention divided because they're also involved in watching the NFL playoffs or college football. The ardent basketball fan has been there since Day 1. Now he or she will be able to be less distracted because basketball will begin move more to the front burner as we get closer to conference championship week and obviously the NCAA Tournament."

Kellogg is on the board of trustees at Ohio State. How can I trust a broadcaster with such close ties to one of the nation's top teams?

"The first thing is I don't hide from the fact that I'm a Buckeye," said Kellogg. "I have drank and swallowed the Kool-Aid. I'm Scarlet and Grey. There is no denying that. I'm a Buckeye fan and we all are fans of certain teams and programs and particularly our alma mater. When calling a game, I am representing CBS and Turner and my professionalism has to rise above where my personal interests lie. Whether people accept or acknowledge that fairly, I cannot control. I don't get hung up on trying to appease the public. I try to serve the game and the viewers and I will let people make their judgment."
