Who will be the new voice of St. Joe's basketball?   The Hawk will never die, but it will sound different this season. St. Joseph's University radio play-by-play announcer Ken Krsolovic is leaving his position to become the athletic director and head baseball coach at Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio. Krsolovic, 45, announced more than 500 men's and women's games in his 17 years at the school and began the St. Joseph's Radio Network in 1990. St. Joseph's athletic director Don DiJulia reports he already has received more than three dozen inquiries about the position. St. Joe's is heading into the final year of its three-year contract with WPEN 950-AM. Though St. Joe's could attempt to lure a "hired gun" like KYW 1060-AM anchor and current Temple football and basketball announcer Harry Donahue (a St. Joe's graduate) or Phillies announcer Scott Graham, who has done college games, I think it would be better not to hire a recycled name. Another option could be to move color analyst and "bracketologist" Joe Lunardi to play-by-play and get a big name such as John Nash or a former Hawk player to do color. Is Rodney Blake busy? Another name could be Comcast SportsNet's Dei Lynam, whose father, Jimmy, was the head coach at St. Joseph's. Lynam does games for the Washington WNBA franchise. However, between CSN and TNT, her plate seems to be full. Of course, if media-happy head coach Phil Martelli could manage to announce while coaching the game, he'd be the leading contender. Short take TNT has a vacancy in its announcing booth with the hiring of analyst Jeff Van Gundy by the Houston Rockets. I wonder if one of the requirements is to not be taller than height-challenged Marv Albert and Mike Fratello? Dream job Philadelphia has seen open casting calls for a traffic reporter and radio talk show hosts this spring. And on the network scale, shows have searched for singers, models, comedians, child singers, talented senior citizens and animal stars. Now ESPN is getting into the act by offering a "SportsCenter" anchor position in the upcoming reality series "Dream Job." Auditions will be held in cities across the country this fall, and ESPN will also accept audition tapes of five minutes or less. The eight-episode series hosted by Stuart Scott will premier next February. "Dream Job" is unrelated to anchor Rich Eisen's recent departure from the network. However, if you miss Eisen, flip the channel to VH1 where he is part of "I Love the '80s," which practically is played around the clock. Good move Judging from the great ratings of the Belmont Stakes and the mediocre numbers for the NBA Finals, NBC is looking like a winner for dumping basketball. And ABC, which already had a lousy prime-time season (Example: "I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here"), is looking like a loser between the boring NBA Finals and the embarrassing performance of the NHL.
