Play-by-play guy loses his stool

((ht: awfulannouncing))

No silly, not that kind of stool.

Over the weekend, the CBSSports Network sent James Bates and Steve Wolf to work the Xavier/Dayton game in Cincinnati.

In most game broadcasts, the announcers sit on stool before the game to give a brief preview before tip-off. But those stools usually hold up.

Not on Saturday.

Check out what happens to Bates as his poorly made stool collapses sending him to a date with the floor. But props to him as he handles it really well and never misses a beat.

And for those into such things, our friends at Awful Announcing say Bates was a former linebacker and team captain at Florida in 1996 and his dad and brother have and do coach in the NFL.

Hmmm. Sounds like a pretty good feature story.

Here's your video:
