CBS college basketball analyst Greg Gumbel badly butchered an interview with Dayton Flyers men's basketball coach Archie Miller on Sunday by mistaking him for his brother Sean Miller, the head coach of the Arizona Wildcats.
Gumbel accidentally referred to Archie as "Sean" when making the point that both Miller brothers are heading to the Sweet 16 with their respective teams, which would be an understandable mistake. However, instead of properly catching himself, Gumbel made things worse by making a reference to "your brother Archie". After some awkward silence ensued (due to apparent technical difficulties), the interview was mercifully cut short.
After Gumbel had some time to realize his mistake, he did acknowledge it to viewers at the end of the halftime show with a joke:
