One-On-One with Eric Collins

FOX Sports Southeast announced on Aug. 27, 2015 that broadcasting veteran Eric Collins will be joining the FOX Sports Southeast telecast team as the new Hornets play-by-play announcer. Matt Rochinski of hornets.com caught up with Collins to discuss his new position in Charlotte.

On taking the Hornets play-by-play position:
This is something that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. It has been a career goal of mine to be with a team. I’ve wanted it desperately and the NBA is kind of my thing. I’ve done a lot of stuff over the years. I got my whistle wet being with the Los Angeles Dodgers, and that was tremendous, but it was a job share with Vin Scully.
