NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion men’s basketball fans have been blessed the last decade to have one of the best radio broadcasts in college basketball.
ODU radio voice Ted Alexander has been the broadcasting pro with a unique and energetic style and an at-times wild sense of humor. Former ODU point guard and color commentator Dave Twardzik has been the calm, basketball expert who doesn’t get ruffled – even when Alexander is, in jest, giving him a hard time, which happened often.
They both told it was like was – they didn’t hesitate to criticize the home team when the Monarchs weren’t playing well. They also let the refs have it once in a while.
Now, after a decade doing a job he said he loved, Twardzik has decided it’s time to hang up his head phones. He told Dr. Wood Selig, ODU’s director of athletics, that he won’t return for the 2023-24 season.
