SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - The University of San Francisco (USF) Athletics Department announced today that Barry Tompkins and Dan Belluomini will serve as USF's new television broadcast team for men's basketball.

Tompkins will serve as the play-by-play voice while Belluomini will serve as the color analyst. The duo will broadcast all home USF men's basketball games, which will air live on ESPN+ at game time.

"The names Barry Tompkins and Dan Belloumini are woven into the very fabric of Bay Area basketball," said Frank Allocco, Executive Sr. Associate Athletics Director, External Relations. "For more than four decades, they've enriched the college basketball experience with their voices, insight, and deep love for the game. We are honored to welcome these two Richmond District legends – lifelong friends who have shared this incredible journey together – back to the Hilltop. Barry's unmistakable call and Coach Belloumini's basketball wisdom are sure to make our broadcasts something special for our fans."

Tompkins and Belluomini, who were both born and raised in San Francisco, grew up in the Richmond district and have been friends for more than 70 years, dating back to their days playing basketball at Fulton Playground. Tompkins went on to attend Washington High School, while Belloumini attended St. Ignatius High School.
Since 1980, Tompkins and Bellumoni have broadcast basketball games together, beginning with an early West Coast Conference (WCC) package. In fact, the duo has broadcast WCC games every year since.

Tompkins, a 51-year network television veteran, is a four-time Emmy Award winner and a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame (class of 2017) for his work as a boxing commentator. Tompkins began his career in local television at KPIX in 1968.  Since then, he has spent time at NBC, HBO, ESPN, Fox Sports, and ShoBox while continuing to broadcast a full schedule of college football and basketball. Tompkins spent 40 years associated nationally with Pac-12 Conference football and basketball, as well as West Coast Conference basketball.
 
Tompkins' credits include play-by-play commentary of The Super Bowl, the Rose Bowl, the NCAA Final Four, eight Olympic Games, The Tour de France, Wimbledon, the French Open and the U.S. Open Tennis, the World Gymnastics Championships, World Swimming and Diving Championships, World Figure Skating Championships, horse racing's Triple Crown, World Cup Skiing, San Francisco Giants, and over 400 World Championship fights. Additionally, he has covered the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open, and PGA golf events, the Indy 500, World Series, Stanley Cup, and the World Cup.
 
In addition to his broadcasting work, Tompkins writes a sports column for the Marin Independent Journal and teaches a class on Storytelling for Television at Dominican University in San Rafael.
 
Belluomini is a former head coach of the Dons, who led USF to back-to-back West Coast Athletic Conference (WCAC) championships, winning 22 games in both 1978-79 and 1979-1980. In his first year, Belloumini guided San Francisco to an NCAA Tournament appearance, led by WCAC Player of the Year Bill Cartwright and USF Hall of Famer Wallace Bryant, as the green and gold finished 12^th in the final Associated Press (AP) poll that season. He would finish 44-14 (.759) in his two seasons with the Dons.
 
After coaching, Belluomoni has served as an analyst covering college basketball, appearing primarily on Pac-12 Networks, NBC Sports Bay Area and California, and KPIX.
