Video: Clark Kellogg reacts to his son advancing to the Sweet 16
By Graham Watson | The Dagger

While Clark Kellogg was calling the Lehigh/Xavier game for truTV, his son, Nick was making history.

Nick is a sophomore guard for Ohio and scored nine points in a 62-56 win over South Florida that sent the Bobcats to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 1964.

Kellogg's broadcasting partner Jim Nantz alerted the Lehigh/Xavier audience to the upset while Kellogg was playfully complaining that the clock in that game, which was stuck on 15 seconds, wasn't moving quickly enough.

During a break in the action of the Lehigh/Xavier game, the camera shifted to Kellogg and Nance as Nance announced the game had gone final and Ohio had won. He then proceeded to shake Kellogg's hand and remarked that it was "clammy."

"Oh wow, oh wow, oh my goodness, oh my goodness," Kellogg said as he looked at the final score.

Credit Kellogg for doing his job while his son was in the midst of the biggest moment of his life. It had to be tough for Kellogg to pay attention to the game he was calling while keeping a watchful eye on his son's progress.

But in the end, when it was all over, Kellogg couldn't hold back the elation for his son's triumph.

"Good job young fella," Kellogg said before adding an emphatic, "Way to go Bobcats!"

CBS? Kellogg won?t ask to cover son?s games
by Michael Hiestand on Mar. 18, 2012, under USA Today Sports

Clark Kellogg was calling Xavier-Lehigh Sunday night when the word came Ohio ? where his son Nick is a sophomore guard ? had beaten South Florida. Jim Nantz, Kellogg?s on-air partner, asked him if he ever got so nervous about games when he was playing. No, said Kellogg on-air, ?it?s all different when your kids are playing.?

But don?t look for Kellogg to call his son?s action: Nick this week will be headed to St. Louis while Clark goes to Atlanta ? which is fine with the old man.

When the NCAA men?s basketball tournament field came out, Kellogg says he got a text message from his son. ?He said, ?Pops, come to Nashville.? ? Clark?s answer: ?I told him I think I?m headed elsewhere.?

While Nick?s team last week was in Nashville, CBS sent Clark to Greensboro, N.C. And as 13th-seeded Ohio upset Michigan on Friday, Kellogg called 15th-seeded Lehigh beating Duke as the two games were played nearly simultaneously. Sunday night offered only a little more leeway: Ohio-South Florida tipped 30 minutes before Kellogg called Xavier-Lehigh.

But Kellogg didn?t ask if he could bring his work to his son.

?No, no, no, I did not,? says Kellogg, who as an ex-Ohio State player and a member of the school?s board of trustees presumably also would have relished seeing Michigan lose. ?That was never on my radar. I didn?t ask. I?d go where I was assigned. If I?d had his region, it would have been an added blessing ? and a challenge.?

In the Kellogg Family, Dad?s in a Booth, Nick?s at the Hoop
By PETE THAMEL

NASHVILLE ? The Ohio sophomore guard Nick Kellogg hit two critical 3-point shots late in the second half to propel the No. 13 Bobcats to the Round of 16 of the N.C.A.A. tournament.

His father, the CBS analyst Clark Kellogg, couldn?t be here to see his son?s clutch performance, as he was on the air calling No. 15 Lehigh?s game vs. No. 10 Xavier.

As the final seconds ticked off, Clark Kellogg couldn?t contain his emotion, saying, ?Boy, I?d like to see that one be over with.? That was with 15 seconds left, as the play-by-play man Jim Nantz pointed out that the score was close to going final. Nantz then congratulated Kellogg when the game was over, noting that his hands were clammy during their handshake.

?It?s all different when your kids are doing it,? said Kellogg, a former star at Ohio State who won the Big 10 Player of the Year honors. He then exclaimed, ?Way to go, Bobcats.?

Nick Kellogg said that his dad also missed Ohio?s upset of Michigan on Friday, when he was busy calling Duke?s upset loss in Greensboro. But Nick Kellogg said that Clark called him the next morning and told him he had downloaded the game on his iPad and watched it after calling four games that day.

Nick Kellogg, who speaks in a similar booming baritone to his father, said it?s a bit strange to not have his dad around.

?A little bit, a little bit,? he said. ?I know he?s supporting me in spirit and keeping track on his iPad or something. I?m sure he?s got the results, I know he?ll be proud of me. It?s a little weird, but I have my mom and brother and sister here.?

Podcast: Clark Kellogg's had a pretty good March
By Matt Norlander | Senior College Basketball Blogger

kelpog.jpg

Kellogg will be calling his fourth Final Four this season. (AP)

CBS Final Four color analyst Clark Kellogg comes back on the pod to chat about his kid (Nick Kellogg, whose Ohio team made the Sweet 16), this incredible field of Final Four teams and what it's like to do his job in front of millions of people. Being a key guy on a major network and getting to call Final Four games is not something you merely apply for, after all. Kellogg has transitioned from studio host to color man with ease, and it's great to get inside his mind and discover how he works his craft so well.

He's a sincere guy, it's a nice 30-minute convo that doesn't get too heavy into breaking down games. I wanted to know more about Clark and his life and how it blends into March. Hopefully the pod accomplishes that.

Looking at your alma mater, Ohio State, what is the key to defending Jared Sullinger? You have to kind of push him off the block and out of his comfort zone, right?

I think that is one of them. You want to be able to defend Jared Sullinger effectively one-on-one, but Kansas likes to double-team the post, and they do it aggressively and hard. If they determine that is the strategy that they want to go with, they will have to rotate well on defense. The key is you have to make it tough for a guy like Jared Sullinger. Don?t allow him to get a steady diet of a certain defense. Don?t allow him to get a rhythm. You want to minimize his deep post touches and you want to attack him at the other end of the court as well. The key matchup for me for Kansas will be Deshaun Thomas. They really don?t have a natural defender for him among their starters. I am interested to see how they deal with him. He is a scorer in the truest sense of the word. He can make threes. He can post you up. He can hit a mid-range shot. He is an elite scorer at the college level. How Kansas deals with him may be more important than what they do with Jared Sullinger.

Clark Kellogg can teach Cleveland important lessons about reaping and sowing: Phillip Morris
Phillip Morris, The Plain Dealer
March 09, 2013

12397387-large.jpg

Clark Kellogg's speech to the Villa Angela-St. Joseph's student body wasn't about X's and O's or zone defenses. It was about something much more important. It was about the development of a righteous life. CBS via Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Later this month, the voice of Cleveland native Clark Kellogg will become one of the most closely listened to in the nation.

As lead college basketball analyst for CBS Sports, Kellogg will narrate the annual rite of spring known as March Madness.

It's a premier job, and Kellogg, the former Ohio State great, and current VP of player relations for the Indiana Pacers, is considered one of the better analysts in collegiate sports.

The professional stardom that his suspect knees prevented him from achieving in his 5-year NBA career has been realized in the announcing booth, courtesy of a tireless work ethic, an engaging sense of humor and a beautiful mind.

That mind was on display Thursday afternoon, when Kellogg spent about 15 minutes providing a different kind of analysis for a group of high school kids, who crowded into the same Cleveland high school gymnasium where he developed into one of the nation's best prep players in the late 1970s.

Kellogg's analysis wasn't about X's and O's or zone defenses, however. It was about something much more important. It was about the development of a righteous life.

"I want to talk to you about reaping and sowing. The biblical principle of reaping and sowing is timeless and eternal," Kellogg said, beginning his address to the student body of Villa Angela-St. Joseph High School.

"It's never old or out of fashion or inappropriate to talk about how we are developing as young men or young women or middle-aged men or middle-aged women."

The students had gathered into the gym to witness the induction of 12 students into the National Honor Society. The ceremony is one of the annual highlights of the academic year.

But a chance to hear stories from one of the school's most famous alumni, a man whose voice appears in a popular NBA video, is what had the auditorium buzzing with anticipation.

So what was this stuff about reaping and sowing?

Why wasn't the Ohio State legend talking about the time he spent shooting hoops with President Obama at the White House?

Why was he talking instead about a book he read years ago, written by Jerry Bridges and called The Pursuit of Holiness?

"If you sow a thought, you reap an act. If you sow an act, you reap a habit. If you sow a habit, you reap a character," Kellogg said, quoting from the book.

CBS' Clark Kellogg has possible dilemma in NCAA tourney
Michael Hiestand, USA TODAY Sports
March 14, 2013

As CBS' Clark Kellogg looks ahead to NCAA men's basketball tournament action, he's not taking anything for granted.

He's not just talking how the coming tournament will be more "wide open" than any in recent years. He's also talking about his perch as CBS' lead analyst.

"I really see a shelf life now for all of us commentators," says Kellogg, who'll work his fifth Final Four with Jim Nantz after replacing Billy Packer, who called 34 Final Fours on CBS and NBC. "The TV landscape is totally different now -- you won't see (on-air) careers like you did with Billy Packer, John Madden, Dick Vitale. With the 24/7 news cycle and the digital world, now there's always going to be a clamoring for the 'next new thing.' ''

And since he replaced Packer, Kellogg hasn't been the next new face.

"Now, I'm not looking beyond two- to four-year windows," said Kellogg, who played at Ohio State from 1979-82 and in the NBA from 1982-87. "I just don't think you'll be able to see guys stay long in lead analyst positions. I'd like to be considered longer, but I just see it playing out that way."
