Calling the action for a basketball game is hard. You have to follow the ball, passes quickly made between players, the shots, rebounds, and big plays. 

Now imagine that same scenario, but unable to see what is happening! That's exactly what one college student is doing in this inspiring story. 

At a basketball game for the Delaware Blue Coats of the NBA G League, sitting alongside the radio play-by-play announcer is color commentator Allan Wylie, who calls them as he sees them — even though he never sees them.

Wylie, who is blind, is a freshman sports communication major at Rowan University in New Jersey. His professor, Neil Hartman, says Wylie is already one of the top students in the program.

Hartman says many listeners to Blue Coats games do not even know he is blind.

"We got emails saying, 'I do not believe that,'" said Hartman, who is the senior director for the Center of Sports Communication and Social Impact at Rowan. "…They said, 'This can't be true.  How can this guy do this?'"

It's a good question. How does Wylie do it?

"I mean, it's a lot of listening," Wylie explained. "I listen to the crowd reaction. I listen to the players. I can listen to the coaches. You know, I can hear the ball bouncing from right to left. I can hear it go off the rim.  Every sound to me is important."
