You won’t find too many people saddened by the end of Billy Packer’s 34-year run as color commentator for the Final Four at the men’s college basketball Tournament. For all his hoops credentials, as both an analyst and a former guard at Wake Forest, Packer was considered a grouch behind the microphone.

Packer has a long history of rubbing people the wrong way. When asked to show his press pass at Duke’s Cameron Indoor Stadium in 2000, Packer shot back, “Since when do we let women control who gets into a men’s basketball game?” He also made this comment during a Charlie Rose interview. Not good.

In the end, Packer will probably be remembered most for his animosity toward the smaller programs in the NCAA. He was critical of St. Joseph’s getting a No. 1 seed in the 2004 Tournament, and he was even angrier two years later when the MVC and CAA got six bids between them. Two words in parting: George Mason.
