Both Sciambi and Fran asked Vescovi and Sciambi was told by Tom Satkowiak, our media guy, it’s been pronounced wrong. Sciambi is one of the best guys in the business. He wouldn’t get something wrong like that.

Why now? Why not two years ago?? Kind of like Gurantano changing the pronunciation of his name his sr. Year

I won't lie: Ves'covi sounds less prescription druggie than Vesco'vi

I don’t think Fran was very professional or gracious in what he said. However, I think a distinction should be made that I don’t think he wasn’t calling all Tennessee fans idiots, just the ones who were tweeting at him.

I thought they were going to redshirt ZZ this season. I am really glad they didn't make that decision.

Some players don’t care. There have been a lot of players whose names have pronounced not at Tennessee before and they have finally tell people how to pronounce. Santi could have been shy and just didn’t care if people pronounced it wrong or thought that’s how you say it in America.

We haven't shot well but still have the lead. Uros is single handily keeping North Carolina in the game with some of the worst post defense I have ever seen in my life.

In the last game it was said that Vescovi just went with it because he was new, young and getting settled and all.

It was said that Vescovi “said” since coming to Tennessee it has always been pronounced wrong…….but he now wanted it to be pronounced correctly.

that’s basically the gist of what was said about it during the last game.

I’m still not sure how it’s supposed to be pronounced…….I “think” yesterday they pronounced it differently than they are today…….I could be wrong.

I don't watch the NBA draft and care less what Francis knows.
What I do know is as a professional announcer in the business you do not call fans idiots.
He could have handled it in a more professional manner.

It was dumb because he has to know his Twitter machine will blow up even more. He brought that on himself.

Uros had a good game in the 1st half. He pulls his shorts and socks up perfectly. The best on the team.

The point is, if he did that against heels, Dukies, or Cal's Pals, he'd have apologized already.

I agree and I could be way off base but I’d wager that an apology is forthcoming at the start of the 2H.

edit - i was way off base
