User:BBPacerman/Brian Madden, Indiana Pacers TV Announcer, 1967 - 69

Brian Madden broadcast play-by-play, of the first Indiana Pacers TV game, November, 1969, against the Pipers in Pittsburgh. Pacers' General Manager, Mike Storen, provided color commentary. The game was carried by WLW-I TV. Madden resumed Pacers games during the second season, joined by former Pacers coach Larry Staverman. Madden, and Bill Orwig paired up for Indiana U basketball games during that time. In those days, only the Pacers away games were broadcast, and not all that many, for the ABA didn't have much drawing power, and I.U. didn't have Bobby Knight, yet. Don Hein replaced Madden, who went to New York.
