In addition to calling the play-by-play, he talks on the weekly radio show Trail Blazers Courtside, presented by L.A. Weight Loss. The 2008–09 NBA season is Barrett’s sixth season of TV play-by-play and tenth season as a member of the Trail Blazers' broadcast team. He became a member of the Blazers' broadcast team before the 1999–00 season as radio studio host and was the television sideline reporter for a time. Barrett also does special assignments for the Blazers' website, makes Trail Blazer podcasts, and has his own blog on the Blazers' website. 1 He served as the radio and television play-by-play voice for the WNBA's Portland Fire for all three of their seasons.
After graduating from Oregon State University in 1991, Barrett got his start in the business at KUIK-AM 1360 in Hillsboro calling high school basketball games.
