Mike Patrick, ESPN's long-time play-by-play voice across multiple sports, stepped down from his position in late February but indicated on Glenn Clark Radio March 1 that the decision wasn't necessarily his.
"I don't even know if it was," Patrick said when asked why this was the right time to step down. "But it was a decision [ESPN] made that I agreed with, and I've already had a couple of offers but they sound too much like work. That's the reason I got into this -- it wasn't work, it was love. So, someone makes me an offer of something I love … if I could do ACC basketball again, which I think is impossible, I would jump at that. I would jump at something like it."
Patrick, 73, said there are other considerations involved with regards to potentially calling games in the future.
