Episode 576 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features a conversation with ESPN's Ryan Ruocco.


Ruocco talks about calling the WNBA Finals, the constant off-the-court attention that the WNBA receives, controversies involving the refs and the commissioner, Caitlin Clark's impact, ratings and scheduling the Finals against NFL action.


In addition, Ruocco talks about calling less Yankees games, but more Nets games, being in the mix for the Yankees radio job after John Sterling retired, what he loves about calling NBA games for ESPN and much more.
