Then did radio Play-by-Play for the Philadelphia 76ers (1992–94). He worked for the Houston Rockets and Sacramento Kings and also handled TV/Radio Play-by-Play for the WNBA Comets and Monarchs for ten seasons.

We discuss why Jim decided to leave Northern California and move to Tennessee.
We also understand why he is referred to as a "Five Tool" announcer, as he can broadcast many sporting events.
We also dive deep to ask him who came up with the funny moniker Middle Seat Koz and discuss who he thinks his doppelganger is!
