The Dallas Wings are entering an exciting period of growth. With a talented young roster, back-to-back No. 1 draft picks, and a fanbase increasingly invested in the future of this franchise, the quality of the broadcast should rise with the team.

Unfortunately, broadcasts with Ron Thulin and Fran Harris too often feel like anything but a home-team broadcast.

Fans have become increasingly frustrated by commentary that regularly feels overly critical, negative, and dismissive of the Wings and their players. No one expects local commentators to ignore poor play or avoid fair criticism. But fans should not routinely finish a Wings broadcast wondering whether the people calling the game even like the team they cover.

A home broadcast should enhance the fan experience. Great plays should be celebrated. Big moments should feel big. Criticism should be fair and constructive, not the defining tone of the broadcast. Fans deserve knowledgeable analysis paired with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine connection to the team.

The Wings have an opportunity to build something special in Dallas. As the talent, expectations, audience, and overall profile of this franchise grow, the quality of the broadcast must grow with it.

We are asking Dallas Wings leadership to reevaluate Ron Thulin and Fran Harris as the team’s broadcast commentators and pursue a broadcast team that better represents the direction and potential of this franchise.

The Dallas Wings deserve commentators who sound like they actually want to be calling Dallas Wings basketball.

The broadcast needs to match the moment.
