The Rutgers athletic department announced today that play-by-play announcer Chris Carlin is stepping down from calling men’s basketball this season. He will continue to be the voice of Rutgers football. Jerry Recco will replace Carlin after calling Columbia Basketball games since 2006. Recco is also a morning anchor on the “Boomer & Carton” radio show on WFAN. He will partner with color analyst Joe Boylan, who is entering his second year in the broadcast booth after a previous coaching stint at Rutgers.
Here are some key quotes from the press release:
“We are very excited to welcome Jerry into the Scarlet Knight family,” said Rutgers Director of Athletics Pat Hobbs.
