Damage U Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 "With a gentle push and a mild arch the old cow hide globe hit home" Long time voice of the Utah Jazz, "Hot Rod" Hundley passed away yesterday. If you never heard him call a game, you missed out. You gotta love it baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pac12Fan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Some people don't realize that Hot Rod worked with the Lakers before the Jazz. Very short time. He was the color coordinator. Great announcer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Rod was said to have said to Basketball Hall of Famer and fellow WVU alumnus Jerry West: "I built this building." West retorted, "Yeah but I paid it off." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
