During interviews after the media found out Charles Barkley would have a role in coverage of teh NCAA Tournament, and then again last week when CBS and its partners conducted a media briefing in New York City to hype the revamped tournament coverage, Charles Barkley championed the little teams and promised he would not be as critical of college players as he was with their NBA counterparts.
So far, he's livied up to his word.
Before the tournament has started, Barkley correctly took aim at one of the most controversial people associated with the tournament through the years -- former CBS color commentator Billy Packer.
While the addition of Barkley should represent just a footnote in the changes for the tournament, he has been given abundant attention by the media. And, if he contines to take aim at appropriate targets like Packer, he might find an ever wider audience than that he has gained with his often controversial NBA studio work.
