He formerly worked as a senior college basketball journalist for ESPN.com,[2] and was a regular sports analyst on College GameNight on ESPN. Katz earned a B.A. at the University of Wisconsin–Madison (1990), and began working for ESPN in 2000.[3]
Career
[edit]Katz first started in sports journalism as play-by-play for Newton North and Newton South High School games in 1985 as a senior in high school, and then at The Daily Cardinal, Wisconsin State Journal, and Milwaukee Journal in college. Before Katz joined ESPN, he was a sports reporter for The Fresno Bee (1995–1999); the Albuquerque Journal (1990–1995); and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (1989–1990).[4][5]
At ESPN, Katz had a notable incident for mispronouncing "bulging discs" during coverage of the 2012 NBA draft.[6] He profiled Barack Obama's love of basketball as part of ESPN's coverage of the 2008 United States presidential election, which later resulted in eight appearances of "Barack-etology" during his presidency. He also was a primary backup to Bob Ley on Outside The Lines, ESPN's sports investigative journalism program.[7] On April 26, 2017, Katz was among over 100 employees laid off by ESPN.[8]
After leaving ESPN, Katz did color commentary for the Paradise Jam tournament held in Lynchburg, VA.[9] Later in 2017, Katz took on a role with the Big Ten Network as a studio analyst. Since then, he expanded his role to include color commentary and sideline reporting, and appears on NCAA March Madness as a sideline reporter and studio analyst during the tournament as part of his role with the NCAA. He also makes appearances on NBA TV and FoxSports.com.[7]
