Name the other famous announcer who did TV games for Indiana State on state-wide TV..

...back during the 1978-79 season. By the way, Jerry Baker is from Sullivan and is an Indiana State graduate.

I believe Joe did Sycamores hoops for radio in the mid to late 60s.

You are correct...but was hired by Channel 4 to do ISU games in 1978-79....

due to his experience of doing Indiana State games in the 1960s on the radio.
