He’s gonna be sorely missed by the fans who listen to him call some of the best moments in the history of the tournament. Truly one of the all time greats
Shoot. Pretty emotional actually. I'm 48. Didn't realize I spent 37 tournaments with him. Thank you Jim Nantz. Thank you for the madness and excellence, good sir
Damn the end of an era is finally happening I didn’t even know he was retiring until today literally this is crazy I’ve always wanted to be a sports broadcaster and unfortunately for me that’ll never happen but to live my dream through some of the best to ever do it is a dream in itself for me congratulations Jim Nantz next step is the HOF 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
That is a very respectful and classy comment Kamauri. I’m sorry it didn’t happen for you but I pray things will turn up awesome for you! God bless you man
So glad that Jim Nantz final college basketball game on CBS was called with UCONN winning the title. The team with the most titles in our generation gives the perfect send off to a legendary commentary. How fitting. #BleedBlue
Is Jim Nantz in the Hall of Fame? If not why not? I remember Jim McKay telling the world about what was going on in Munich in 1972. I remember Cosell breaking the news of John Lennon's death before there was 24 hour news. Those two men did their profession well on those tragic nights, but while Jim never had to cover anything quite that dramatic, he covered so many dramatic events in the world of college basketball. He NEEDS to be in the Hall of Fame.
You know you are humble when you hear such great things said about about and have a hard time keeping it together. Too many times we don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone and the memories stay with you. Thanks Jim. You are truly all our friend.
One of the class acts in the broadcasting business. Gonna be missed. I’m glad Raf finally got to do several final fours with Jim. Always thought that team would be great.
You’ll be missed Jim Nantz!!! My favorite memory of you is when you were there to present the Green Jacket to your good friend Fred Couples at the 1992 Masters!!!
I really think Jim should run for president of the United States. He is very intelligent, well educated, credible and trust worthy. He outshines anyone in the current arena and would bring intelligence and integrity to the Oval Office. Something that has been missing for a very long time.
Jim Nantz is one of the best ever to do play-by-play. In only wish he stuck with college football instead of the NFL. Nevertheless, I will miss him calling the Final Four. Glad we will have him with NFL for a few more years.
How do y’all think Jim would have done if he did CBS’s NASCAR broadasts? He was with CBS when they had NASCAR rights. If he could have done with a NASCAR TV broadcast, what role could he have played?
I'm glad that he's leaving, since he knew and cared almost nothing about college hoops, which he seems to think starts in February. Now he will have more time to follow the moves of Aaron Rodgers or other NFL star quarterbacks. Perhaps CBS will find a Basketball Guy to replace Nantz ...
Nantz is terrible. Doesn't know much (other than golf) about the sports that he covers . Yes he knows a couple of the stars and their stories but never seemed to understand strategy or nuance. The NCAA Mens' basketball coverage took a huge step downward when CBS got the contract from NBC. NBC's coverage was so much better. So the positive of this year's final 4, no more Nantz!

Jim Nantz = Jim Morrison (Fake killed him off). He is an Illuminati Fraud.

He's not necessarily retiring. He's just passing the torch for this sport to Ian Eagle.
He still will be doing golf and football.
@@Monaayy29 Yeah I agree but it just won’t be the same without him though.
You did well Mr. Nantz! We will not forget your 30+ years giving of your thoughts from the head and from the heart! Mark. St. Francis, WI
Well done Jim for so many years. Bitter sweet.
I agree. We need to get this man into the hall of fame for sports broadcasting.
Great tribute to a great man. Thank you Jim for so many great memories
At first, I thought this was an episode of Arrested Development. I was waiting for the punchline. Congratulations Jim. You will not be forgotten.

How cool would be to have witnessed all those championship games live!!! Wow!
Thank You Jim!!! Thank you for being part of our lives, you are the reason we LOVE college basketball!!!

He's still at cbs sports right doing the golf and nfl.

Thanks Jim. You are truly all our friend.
Thank you, Mr. Nantz! Going to miss you!
Thank you,Jim
A Living Legend
I'm glad he got to call a buzzer beater in the final.
He always went to the Masters from the NCAA finals. Hope he’ll still do that! ⛳️⛳️⛳️
All I have to say is THANK YOU Friend!
Thank you Jim!
NCAA MARCH MADNESS FAREWELL TO JIM NANTZ 1990-2023
NCAA MARCH MADNESS FAREWELL TO JIM NANTZ 1990-2023
* 1991
And he always did it so fairly! I don’t know that he ever announced a game, when you knew what team he supported!
One of the class acts in the broadcasting business. Gonna be missed. I’m glad Raf finally got to do several final fours with Jim. Always thought that team would be great.
“Thank you for being my friend”
The greatest to ever do it 💯
Thanks for all the memories Jim. This great tournament won't be the same without you telling the stories behind it
You’ll be missed Jim Nantz!!! My favorite memory of you is when you were there to present the Green Jacket to your good friend Fred Couples at the 1992 Masters!!!
Greatest ever to do it . GOAT
He the only lead play by play guy that stay on one network CBS
And Keith Jackson
I cant believe this is gonna be his last one. True GOAT. I 🐐🐐
what a great announcer!
Keith Jackson and Jim Nantz are on the Mount Rushmore 🎧🎙️🗣️
Thank you Jim nantz
I think on Monday his last act at the Final Four should be giving the cue for One Shining Moment.
That would only be right
Wow. What a guy
Thank u Mr. Jim Nantz
#ThankYouJimNantz | #GoodByeFriends
For #MarchMadness | #NationalChampionship (1990 - 2023)
He was certainly one of the best to do it, no matter what sport he did.
I really think Jim should run for president of the United States. He is very intelligent, well educated, credible and trust worthy. He outshines anyone in the current arena and would bring intelligence and integrity to the Oval Office. Something that has been missing for a very long time.
Won't realize how much he's missed until next year.
He has been good for college basketball - - I’m glad that he is going to continue to do the masters
Jim Nantz is one of the best ever to do play-by-play. In only wish he stuck with college football instead of the NFL. Nevertheless, I will miss him calling the Final Four. Glad we will have him with NFL for a few more years.
Ron Howard!
Very well said, Ronnie Howard.
How do y’all think Jim would have done if he did CBS’s NASCAR broadasts? He was with CBS when they had NASCAR rights. If he could have done with a NASCAR TV broadcast, what role could he have played?
🐐
He will be missed
How can you not report on Foster’s penalty kick save at the end?
Is he still doing NFL on CBS?
He’s still on CBS’ broadcasts of NFL and PGA Tour (along with his annual duties as “Mayor of Augusta”)
This sucks he’s no longer going to be calling the NCAA tournament next year
Sad he won’t be calling basketball games anymore but at least we’ll still hear him on Sunday afternoons with Tony Romo.
He still b calling the Masters!
THEE Voice Final FoURS!!
So when is Bill retiring from broadcasting?
On the next Arrested Development...
As good as it gets.
But we didn’t even get a chance to see his Nantz dance
😮
GAG!
Tell the camera.man to.zoom in at each end zone. We dont need to see the audience. Terrible filming!
Hopefully the old man is going away with him!!!!
I'm glad that he's leaving, since he knew and cared almost nothing about college hoops, which he seems to think starts in February. Now he will have more time to follow the moves of Aaron Rodgers or other NFL star quarterbacks. Perhaps CBS will find a Basketball Guy to replace Nantz ...

Worst Announcer Ever next To Johnny Miller . It’s About A Tie . Horrible For The Game’s Of Sports. Because He Dose Not Know Anything About Them .
You must be the guy replacing him. Better start studying now scooter
Thank you Jim!
