Summary
BONUS EPISODE
Dave Pasch was getting ready to call an ESPN NBA game between the Kings and Pelicans on Wednesday March 11. A few minutes before the start of the game, officials announced the game had been postponed. And since then, the sports world has been shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic.
On this episode of the podcast, we talk with Dave Pasch about that March 11th telecast, being on air but never calling the game due to the coronavirus, where he stands right now in waiting mode with his job, and the opportunity that we have right now as believers to serve and help others in a tangible way.
You can listen to Dave's testimony of faith in Jesus from our July 2018 interview here.

And it's not your typical St. Patrick's Day, obviously, with all that's going on in the world and the coronavirus and the news changing every single hour, |
| 0:40.1 | it feels like, with this story and certainly how it's affected the sports world. And we've |
| 0:45.6 | been taping a bunch of interviews on sports spectrum well before the coronavirus that news. And |
| 0:53.4 | we have probably 15 or 20 interviews, you know, that are in the can that |

| 1:33.8 | Cardinals in the NFL. Dave's a very recognizable voice around the sports world, especially those |
| 1:40.7 | that are in the business and have been for many years. Now, Dave was set to call the Sacramento Kings versus New Orleans Pelicans game in Sacramento |
| 1:48.8 | last week, last Wednesday with Richard Jefferson. |

| 2:01.8 | So we're still less than a week since that incident happened. |
| 2:05.3 | And then everything kind of changed after that, right? |
| 2:07.8 | There was basically no more sports within 24 hours of that incident. |
