    Schoening is easily one of the best radio play by play guys in the NBA. On top of everything he stays out of the politics in radio for the most part. Mostly because he doesn't have a radio show like Jay Howard did. But too many people liked Jay Howard too much and never gave Bill a chance. You could pick any great broadcaster in the world that is better than Jay Howard, but if it isn't Jay Howard you guys won't give him a chance.

    I know many people who could do a better job than Larry king but then it wouldn't be larry king anymore.would it?

    I agree that Jay Howard was good, but he didn't treat people well and had a huge ego. He hasn't been able to get a decent radio job since and I believe he's now out of radio (at one point a few years back I heard he was going into real estate). That should tell you something ... Because pretty much any radio guy can just move on to another station.
    So he didn't leave with a Bang?

    What do you get when you mix the s angels with Jay Howard?

    Schoening is a hack.

    He stutters and has wayyyyyyyyyyy too much dead air for a PBP guy, ESPECIALLY radio.

    Hes a funny guy, a NICE guy, but he has no business calling PBP for a professional basketball team.

    PERIOD.
    You are en led to your opinion. Since most of your opinions are stupid, I'm pretty comfortable with my choice of Schoening over Howard, thanks.

    Actually, Jay came out on espn w/chris duel. He told some stories, addressed his problems at oai and is now working in the financial industry as I think a broker. I think it was partly his decision to stay in SA and obviously his poor reputation may have cost him his radio career. He did say that he received a few offers, but it never seemed to be the right time for what its worth. As far as schoenig is concerned, I'm sure he has won some awards, I just never warmed up to his style of play by play. I know alot of people like him, it just seems just as many people don't like him as a play by play guy. Alot of people disliked Jay, but very few made any negative comments about his play by play, in fact most was positive, it was his radio show and personality that got in his way and received the negative label. I don't know, has Pop ever said anything positive about Bill?

    I work with Jay now at a financial firm here in SA. Suffice it to say his not being in radio is a choice he made.

    Ditto.

    Tell him to work at the new ESPN station so he can add some Spurs insight...

    If he didn't have to do a talk show, why would he?
    Have to do a talk show? I think Jay Howard did it because he enjoyed it.

    It's a little elitist of Schoening to talk about not having to do a radio talk show.

    Clear Channel did what it always does: brought in a guy from out-of-town who has no concept of the San Antonio culture. Bill Schoening is efficient, but utterly unremarkable and unmemorable. Jay Howard was, and is, infinitely talented and memorable.

    In the words of The Great One, BANG!!!

    Howard was one of the most arrogant people I have ever met. I was glad to see the change and still am.

    I'm willing to bet that you're in fact Jay Howard giving yourself an ego boost by posting this thread.
    Yeah! Why is Jay Howard pimping himself on this message board? How pathetic. WOAI and Ticket 760 are dominating the market with our A-list talent.

    Jay is just jealous.

    Jay Howard was better at PBP. All the other stuff about EGO and this or that doesn't matter. Why didn't he get another job doing PBP after the Spurs ? Not many openings for NBA gigs.

    Shut up, you idiot. If Jay Howard had any talent, don't you think he could have at least gotten the Memphis Grizzlies gig? Clear Channel did a nationwide talent search to bring in Schoening from Austin, Taylor from Dallas and Pasacrita from Jersey. Sit back and enjoy the broadcasts or move out of San Antonio, loser.

    And why does Bill need to do a talk show?
    he doesn't have to do any show, no one wants anyone to do something they don't have the passion for. Jay went that extra mile. he was all about Spurs not just doing it for a pay check.


    I don't find it elitist at all that a guy who works 9 months of the year traveling needs to also host a talk show that would be just the same if Walter Pasacrita were the host.
    Walter? are you sucking on a a crack pipe? If I knew you was going to compare Walter to someone with talent i would not have wasted my time quoting you.


    And why does he need to have a concept of San Antonio culture? It's basketball. Last time I checked basketball is pretty much the same in San Antonio as it is in Austin, or even Europe.

    That shows your new as a Spurs fan, poeple down here don't look at the Spurs as just another NBA team, they look at them as Family.
    Knowing this city is part of knowing the spurs, not just now but from the 80s.

    David Robinson is like a big brother to many poeple here in san Antonio.
    He loves San Antonio and has loyalty unlike your Kevin Garnetts and Allen Iversons of today.

    The more you talk the more it shows your just a drug store Spurs fan.

    Stop being a little drama queen and take your lips off Schoening's tool for a second. When did the Grizzlies PBP job open up ? Remember the Alamo !!! And Remember Jimmy Bobby has a Man Crush on Bill Schoening !! Punk Ass ignit fool.

    If anyone is in dire need of being slapped, its you.. at your Nationwide Talent search. Were you the recruiter on that ? Did you go all the way to Austin to find him ??

    Dumbass, everyone knows Pasacrita stayed here after his car broke down delivering a Pizza to Clear Channel.

    Bill Shoening is a personal friend of mine and you used tampons of fans that think he sucks just don't listen. Did you know he's one of the only broadcasters to do play by play AND color commentary in the NBA? He doesn't need to lay his shoulder on ex-players and coaches to provide fantastic commentary.

    Now, with that said-Jay Howard was among my favorite voices of all time, but I don't know him as a person, and I just happen to think Bill is better. No slip ups, not a single misquote without correcting himself soon after.
