Bill Walton is probably one of the biggest travesties in sports announcing. While announcing Pac 12 Basketball games his nonsense jibber jabber ruins any enjoyment of watching. I would rather chew on aluminum foil or hear hours of Alvin and the Chipmunks than listen to Bill carry on for hours on nothing and talk about complete non sense. For a guy that played basketball at such a high level he is completely disconnected and makes games painful to watch. Search the internet for Bill Walton worst announcer and there is never a voice that actually stands up for his idiocy. You have brought us back 50 years as listening to the games on the radio is now more enjoyable than actually watching them on TV. Please lets end his reign and make basketball enjoyable again. Bill please do the right thing and just step down peacefully.

I truly never imagined so many people felt this strongly about the state of our broadcasts. This momentum belongs entirely to your frustration and your willingness to speak up.

I cringe every time he commentators a U of A game. I usually watch the game on mute so I don't have to hear his random spiel on piggy life in Australia, or the types of shoes Ukranian children wear during bar mitzvahs. Nothing to do with NCAA Basketball, please remove him ASAP!!!

We respect him as a player and we are also Arizona alumni as his son Luke; however we want to hear about the game not his personal life every second. It’s embarrassing for the other announcers we feel to defend themselves . Respectfully, please no longer have Bill Walton announce pac 12 games.

I watch him at our Bruin home games and his head is rarely facing the payers on the court. At last week's game against USC, he smeared Peanut button on the camera lense. It's sad,...I've come to hate the sound of his voice.

Bill Walton is a distraction to the cherished game of basketball. He has no business representing the PAC 12 and actually undermines our credibility and legitimacy as a basketball powerhouse. Please remove him from the air immediately.

It is so unfair that we can't watch a PAC 12 game because can't stand to listen to bill Walton. Last night we watched and had to listen to the radio which is behind about 20 seconds. Please end this man's contract.

As much as I love the Grateful Dead, Walton's reliving the past in lieu of commenting on the game is at best irritating and at worst terrible announcing. His constant forages into trivial nonsense is inappropriate, Snoop Dog ad nauseum, really!

I would like to turn my sound on for Pac-12 telecasts again. The Bill Walton Show is a joke. I don't want to hear his old timey remineses even though I about the same age as he is. Give me any other UCLA commentator. Don McClean will do fine. Anybody but Walton.

I refuse to watch a game he commentates. He lacks the professionalism necessary for an enjoyable extras a fan.
