Legendary basketball analyst Debbie Antonelli was on the call when her son, Patrick, checked into an Indiana and Louisville matchup, and the moment it happened was awesome.
Despite looking on “extremely anxiously and fidgety” (as her broadcast partner described it), Debbie Antonelli delivered an excellent call just as her son checked in. “Well, it’s definitely a dream come true for Patrick to be at Louisville getting his Master’s degree,” she said. “All I care about him is being around good guys and being around a good coaching staff. And that’s what that’s what he’s got.”
Pretty sweet, right? Well, Antonelli wasn’t too wrapped up in the moment. When Patrick stepped to the line later to hit some free throws after a technical foul, her partner mentioned how he was already a better free-throw shooter than his mom. “No way,” Antonelli quickly retorted. That’s spoken like a true parent. You gotta keep the kids humble.
