FOX Sports Southeast announced on Aug. 27, 2015 that broadcasting veteran Eric Collins will be joining the FOX Sports Southeast telecast team as the new Hornets play-by-play announcer. Matt Rochinski of hornets.com caught up with Collins to discuss his new position in Charlotte.
On taking the Hornets play-by-play position:
This is something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. It has been a career goal of mine to be with a team. I’ve wanted it desperately and the NBA is kind of my thing. I’ve done a lot of stuff over the years. I got my whistle wet being with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and that was tremendous, but it was a job share with Vin Scully.
