Just saw that on WBB Twitter. How sad!

So sad, Rich was one of a kind

 

[mj4cy]

He could tell a story

 

[CY9008]

Some of my first memories as a clone fan listening to Rich. Will definitely miss him. “Basket counts and a foul called!”

 

[NWICY]

Well shoot another sad day in Cyclone land.

I'm in shock. I had no idea he was dealing with any health issues.

Rich was my Step Dad. He loved calling Woman’s basketball games! Lot’s of Reminiscing about ISU with the family today.

Sad news. A big part of the WBB program, for a long time

sorry for your loss.

I loved how much he loved Iowa State WBB.

Couldn't tell you anything about what he looked like. But I could hear his voice 100 yards away and I'd know it was him. Great contributions to the program.

Heart breaks.

I have to imagine this is hitting Fennelly hard. Called him Ritchie a lot on the radio.

Rich was the voice of women's basketball in a similar way for me that Pete was for men's. A familiar voice you could identify immediately when the radio came on, and was a big part of the aura in listening to games on the radio.

Well now I hate Nebraska a little less.

Well now I hate Nebraska a little less.

I got to know Matt threw a big 12 wbb message board and visited with him after some of our home games vs Nebraska. Matt Coatney is one of the really good ones.

Edit. Matt was the first person to educate me on displacement well before Blum made it a thing.
