1. Yes
2. No
 
Anyone that uses the phrase, "Throws down a two handed hunk of love!" Is a hack.
 
Locke can be a hack sometimes, but compared to the rest of the radio personalities in SLC he's amazing. It's painful listening to Scotty G., Alemma and Bagley when Locke isn't on. Painful.
 
Lived in 6 NBA cities. Locke is one of the best basketball analysts I have ever listened to - local or national. And I listen to sports talk stuff all the time including when I travel which is a lot. His play by play is not great but it is fine and getting better. Plus, he calls it like he sees it which is always refreshing. Count me as a fan of his.
 
He needs to change some of his lame signature lines.
They sound dumb and distract from the game, when you have to translate into english.

Other than that he's not bad.... for a spreadsheet nerd.

Last night he posted to facebook that splitting with the Heat was a win.

Oh please. You understand what he meant. If I would have told you before the season that we were going to sweep the Heat, you would have told me I was crazy. Most people would have expected us to get swept. Maybe "win" was the wrong word to use, but Jazz fans should definitely not be upset with being 1-1 in this series.
 
I loved the part where Locke said, "BOOM-CHAKALAKA-DING-DONG, DIPPITY DO DAH, CRUSH-HYPER-MATIC ATOMIC FLUSH DOWN by Millsap on the 1st of 2 free throws. 6:56 left in the first quarter and the Jazz are now up 1 from that free throw....*and he misses the second*"
 
Everything's relative, and relative to most, Locke is really good even if he compromises his integrity to prop up his bosses' product.
 
Hack? No. He prepares and has an opinion with what he believes to be true and a reason why. Even if it's wrong.

Annoying? Sometimes. He isn't a great play-by-play announcer by any stretch. He tries a little too hard. Just call the game and don't worry about catch phrases. That sort of thing is lame.

He was much better suited in the radio show and pre-game/post game shows.
 
His voice is annoying as chewing on aluminum foil, but I appreciate his preparation and delving into details other broadcasters don't go into. I even like his crazy spreadsheet theories. Some times I wish he would just slow his delivery down and use fewer words than just rattling off cheesy slogans. I understand how difficult it is to describe a basketball game on radio, but throwing in states during a game doesn't help. He is better this year than last year, and hopefully he will improve.
 
Absolutely not. I think he is far from being a hack. I don't think you Utahr folk know how good you have it.
