Greg Gumbel gets roasted for cutting off Jim Larrañaga-Charles Barkley conversation

Greg Gumbel is a March staple and a sportscasting pro.

This was not his finest moment.

TBS invited Miami men's basketball head coach Jim Larrañaga for an interview Saturday during halftime of the Houston-Villanova game. Larrañaga, who has been endearing himself to a national basketball audience since taking George Mason to the Final Four in 2006, is in the midst of another deep run after Miami's Sweet 16 win over Iowa State on Friday.

He also produced one of the NCAA tournament's buzzier moments last week when he suggested that America doesn't want to see Charles Barkley with his shirt off.
