Marty Glickman
"There should be a course taught in journalism schools entitled Marty Glickman, the way you might study Fellini in film school. He set the terminology for basketball play-by-play. On radio it was very precise. Right side of the lane. Left side, top of the key. Right baseline. He would always drum into me, 'What kind of shot is it? Is it a running one-hander? Is it a jumper from 15 along the baseline? Does he drive, stop, jump, shoot? Be precise because you're providing the eyes for the listener.'"

--Sportscaster Marv Albert
