Jacques Doucet, Ken Coleman, and Ned Martin should all be in. For many years, the Frick award was designed to honor the greats, but when great announcers of the past were being ignored (and forgotten about), some dubious selections may have been made. It had become a crony award.

They've changed the rules a few times in recent years , which opened the door for guys like Bill King, and Graham McNamee. The ideal solution would be to give out two awards a year - one for an announcer from the past, one from the current (or recent) days, and do that for the next 10-15 years. It won't cheapen the award, it will give it more relevance.

Ya think?
