Notes

• From 1999 to 2008, Bob Cousy appeared as a part-time analyst on Celtics games, calling about 10 games each season.^[25]
• During the 1980 NBA Playoffs, Johnny Most split play-by-play duties with Gil Santos due to problems with Most's voice. Most called the first and fourth quarters and served as an analyst during the second and third, while Santos called the second and third and analyzed the other two.^[26]
