Former Utah Jazz player Bobby Hansen is getting more involved in broadcasting.
Hansen has signed a 15-month contract with WHO stations to do color commentary on radio broadcasts of college and high school basketball games, plus weekly pieces for WHO-TV.The former Iowa player has been doing color commentary on WHO's Iowa basketball broadcasts on a game-by-game basis this season. A contract signed Friday formalizes the relationship and extends it through next season, WHO general manager Joe Lentz said.
Hansen played with the Chicago Bulls last season. He began his pro career with the Jazz.
Hansen's contract would not tie him down if he gets another shot at the NBA.
"Now we've got a guy with a Super Bowl ring doing color on football and a guy with an NBA world championship ring doing basketball," WHO-TV news director Brian Greif said. "All we need is Kirby Puckett doing baseball."
