I like how he uses the term “Alley-oop.” To him, an alley-oop is just a pass, probably lobbed a little bit. And he calles a real alley-oop an “Alley-oop upstairs.” So during one play, you may hear:

“Jesse Sapp alley-oops it to Hibbert at the free throw line. Alley-oop to Wallace. Fakes a three. And alley-oop upstairs to Summers who slams it home. Oh my!”

Vespers are the evening service, so the “vesper half” is the 2nd half, or evening portion of the game a subtle nod to the Georgetown Jesuit tradition.

Besides the phrases I mentioned in my Hoyku, I like it when he talks about the “Vespers half.” What does that even mean?

In the old days if a player made the same play two possessions in a row, he would say, “This is a recording.” It was like the old telephone operator’s message that would keep repeating if a number was disconnected or something. He doesn’t do it very much in the cell phone era, but it always used to make me laugh.

I kinda like the “4-0″ runs that he mentions. He always has a flair for the dramatic.
