I happened to have the Olympics on around dinner time (6pm EST) when I realize that the handball announcer sounds a lot like Mike Gorman. I google it and sure enought announcing handball for NBC in London is our Mike Gorman. I still don't understand handball but at least I know and love one of the announcers!

Donny Marshall is also announcing the basketball games while Doc is an analyst for USA Basketball. I wonder if Comcast Sportsnet is owned by NBC. I have heard that Gorman has done other sports before and does have a wide range. I think I've seen him doing football games before too.

Yeah, C's actually have a strong presence over in London.  In addition to Gorman; Donny Marshall has been announcing games, and Doc has been doing pre/post game analysis.

I hope after he's done coaching, Doc takes over for Tommy when he finally retires.  Doc is a very good color commentator.  I think he chooses to stay in Orlando though when he's done coaching.

I bet Gorman called a spot on handball game.

Yup ... listened to Mike last week during one of the first team handball games televised ... it was a nice surprise to hear that friendly voice in GB.

Found this out in the last thread a week or two ago and still haven't caught a televised handball game  :'( :'(

I really hope I'm not the only one who read that and thought, "they're wasting the best announcer in basketball while torturing us with Donny Marshall?"

Not much to understand in handball. It's a game for people who don't know how to play basketball  ;D

Yeah, and basketball is for "sissies", according to handball players.

I've played it for over a decade, because in the village I'm from, they didn't have a basketball club/team/court. It's "as close as it gets", and to be honest, it's a lot rougher than basketball.

Good fun.
