Wes Durham had a less than thrilling call at the end of the Wake Forest-Syracuse game as the Demon Deacons hit a 3-pointer with 0.5 seconds remaining to win the ACC Tournament game on Wednesday afternoon.
The ACC Network broadcaster built up the call as Daivien Williamson hit the game-winning 3-pointer: “Back for Williamson for the win.”
But as soon as the ball went through the net, Durham was silence for several seconds, and that caught the ear of basketball fans watching the game. However, others came to Durham’s defense and said he did the right thing by letting the moment stand for itself and crowd reaction to pour over the play.
Durham is well known in ACC circles, as he began his professional career as the radio voice for Georgia Tech from 1995-2013 before he joined FOX Sports South to handle play-by-play duties for ACC football, basketball and baseball games.
He’s also the son of longtime “Voice of the Tar Heels” Woody Durham.
