Tolbert is terrific. Gets its supposed to be fun. And doesn’t seem to take himself too seriously. Seems like a genuinely good guy. I went to a “thing” for Lute Olson a few years back in SF. Tolbert was the MC. Hilarious. Told a story that what he was in Arizona one of the things he would have to do is run a few miles outside they would run past a big fountain and then circle back the same way past the fountain into the gym He’d run to the fountain drench himself and then hide for a while, catch up with everybody when they came back after again drenching himself and head in. Olson just shook his head. It was pretty obvious how much Tolbert cared for Lute.
That was a year Arizona when into play Cal and was number one in the nation at the time. Lute was talking to Arizona boosters. He told the crowd don’t be too excited this team can’t shoot and in the end it’ll get them. He was right on the money.
And I agree- Tolbert and Ratto were terrific together. Despite looking like a walrus and his general snide demeanor- Ratto is supposedly a very good guy.
Top 10?

Never really liked Fitzgerald much; probably a good guy, but then again, he is a Domer. Lund is awful. Radnich was quirky, though mildly entertaining. Do enjoy listening to Tolbert, pretty funny guy. He and Ratto were darn good radio.

Maybe variations of the same story. I always believed both. That was Gary
