Syracuse, N.Y. — Imagine calling a college basketball game on national television only to have your on-air partner take off his headset and go to the bathroom during the game.
That is just one of many stories that Dave Pasch, the ESPN announcer and Syracuse University alum, shared during his visit on the Inside Syracuse Basketball podcast.
Pasch, who graduated from SU in 1994, was just 26 years old when he became the radio Voice of the Syracuse Orange in 1999. He stayed in that role through the 2001-02 season.
He has been with ESPN since 2002. He is also the play-by-play announcer for the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals.
In addition to Walton, Pasch also talks about the guidance he received from Mike Tirico and Sean McDonough, his relationships with SU coaches Jim Boeheim and Paul Pasqualoni and his other broadcast partners, including Jay Bilas and Dick Vitale.
