Kevin Harlan didn’t flinch on the call as a Marquette player leaped over his head during March Madness

Kevin Harlan, as we all know, is absolutely unflappable when he’s on the microphone.

Whether he’s calling games on the radio or television, the longtime play-by-play announcer has a knack for transforming the weirdest and wildest moments into some of the most memorable.

Harlan did just that a few days ago when confetti mistakenly dropped early during the A-10 title game and who could forget his all-timer of a call when the Furman’s upset of Virginia last year nearly knocked him out of his chair?

Well, Friday’s slate of March Madness games gave us another call to put in the Harlan Hall of Fame. While broadcasting the No. 2 Marquette – No. 15 Western Kentucky game on TBS, Golden Eagles guard Chase Ross attempted to chase a ball out of bounds and ended up hurdling the announcers table.

Harlan, the true pro that he is, didn’t lose his concentration for a moment and delivered another epic narration:

“He flew right over my head!” tells you everything you need to know about what just happened.

Kevin Harlan remains a national treasure. Here’s hoping players keep soaring over him and never into him.
