Boston College is on the hunt for two new radio broadcasters after letting go of Kevin Collins and Josh Maurer, who'd called games together for the past nine years. Collins had been in the role for 13 seasons, during which time the program went through three head coaches and five athletic directors. Still, he and Maurer were told just days before Aug 1. that their services were no longer needed
Per Collins, who did a phone interview with Awful Announcing, the decision came directly from new head coach Luke Murray, who was most recently an ***** istant under Dan Hurley at UConn.
"He's a young head coach, no experience, and he's being given the power to take two guys' careers away from them who have done nothing but try to serve the program and promote the program," Collins told Awful Announcing.
Both broadcasters reached out to Murray to arrange a meeting, but were told "Coach Murray is off recruiting, or we have an official visit today, and it's not a good day; we've got a lot going on," Collins said.
Deputy Athletic Director Craig Anderson told the pari that Murray didn't want anyone in the travel party who'd been part of what was described as the program's "losing mentality," under the previous head coach, Earl Grant, who went 72-92 in five seasons.
