I've heard Mick doing commentary in the past, while he was still coaching. I remember it as informative, opinionated, dry. Still, happy for him that he is still in the game. I hope he finds enjoyment in it.

He seems like a very misunstood guy. Kinda like pickled fish.

Pickled fish isn't misunderstood. You either like it, or you don't.

Mick's broadcasting debut was "unexciting". Hopefully ESPN works with him a little on delivery and conciseness. There were certainly tidbits of info that were valuable. And, fortunately, he is no Nell Fortner. It's nice to have someone who knows what they are talking about doing commentary. A match I watched last weekend had a commentator who called a serving error an ace, and kept referring to what a long "volley" that was... cringeworthy. Hope Mick finds new life doing this. What game was it? DI or some DII webcast?

Oh man, the D3 webcasts are great. They'll have some stoner lacrosse dude calling the game, who is clearly watching volleyball for the first time in his life. Good stuff.

Mick will always be a legend.
At worst, USC should have just kept Kennedy, but they were insistent on cleaning house, including two former Women of Troy All-Americans (Olgard and Bateman)

He’s better off.
