THE FRONT ROW with MARK NELKE: Remembering when a legend called your basketball games

"I remember, we're going on a road trip to Central Washington or something, and there's Bob Robertson on the bus with us," Casey Irgens said of the legendary WSU broadcaster, who died Sunday at age 91. "I'm like, 'What's going on here?'" "He's calling our games for us on the radio," replied UPS coach Bob Niehl, who played at WSU from 1972-74. "I didn't even know we were on the radio, truthfully," Irgens says now.
