    In this episode of Hoopsology, we’re joined by Troy Pepper, the electrifying public address announcer for the Indiana Pacers and Indiana Fever. Troy pulls back the curtain on what it was like to call games during the Pacers’ thrilling run to the NBA Finals, how he went viral for Pascal Siakam’s poster dunk, and the gut-punch moment when Tyrese Haliburton went down. We also explore Troy’s experience with Caitlin Clark’s arrival in the WNBA, balancing energy between men’s and women’s basketball, and how new technology — even AI — is shaping the future of live sports production.
