Overview
- Video posted to X by Eddie Erickson on Dec. 9 shows Russo attempting a half-court shot on Arizona State’s home court during what looked like a practice session.
- ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky called the effort “just awful,” with additional jabs from Jon “Stugotz” Weiner, Jemele Hill, Marcus Spears, and Doug Gottlieb.
- The clip captures Russo heaving the ball one-handed without leaving the floor and then appearing to limp as he walked off.
- Multiple outlets identify the venue as Arizona State, though Awful Announcing tied the visit to Northern Arizona University, where Russo’s son Tim is an assistant coach.
- PennLive reported that Russo retweeted the video rather than asking for its removal, increasing its reach.
