Having been around the team since 1971, Phil Chenier has seen 46 seasons of Baltimore/Washington basketball up close, and is one of the most respected voices in and around the organization. As he will officially move into the studio, we’re left to wonder who will replace Chenier next to longtime buddy Steve Buckhantz.
Back in April, when the move was announced, fans were told that Comcast Sports Net Mid Atlantic had come up with a “handful of candidates and expects to audition them during the offseason.”
The decision to transition Chenier in-house was met with criticism from fans and a general sense of sadness and reflect, during what was possibly the best season in franchise history since Chenier still played in the NBA.
