Mark Wildman
FameRank: 3

"Mark Wildman" is an English people/English snooker and Pocket billiards/pool commentator and a retired professional snooker and English billiards player. He made the first televised century break (107 points) in November 1960 on Associated Television/ATV.

He won the World Professional Billiards Championship in 1984 and was runner up in 1980 and 1982.

Throughout the 1980s and early 1990s, he was a distinguished snooker commentator for ITV (TV network)/ITV until snooker was dropped by the channel. Between September 1999 and September 2002 he was Chairman of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association (WPBSA). In recent years, he resumed commentary for Sky Sports and British Eurosport, but was dropped by Sky Sports when they ceased coverage of WPBSA-backed tournaments in 2004. He was also dropped by Eurosport as a commentator in 2004. In July 2006, Wildman returned to Eurosport as the leading commentator of their coverage of the new International Pool Tour (IPT).

The IPT folded later in 2006, and Wildman has since retired to Spain where he continues to play carom billiards for enjoyment.

It's kind of a second chance on the Tri-West game. We didn't respond to that very well. Now it's sort of giving us another chance. It's not Tri-West, but it's still another ranked team.

The surprising thing to us was that Cascade was able to run the ball on them. They don't have any type of unusual defense. Their defense is a lot like our defense.

We're glad we're on an upswing. We've won some games here lately. That helps.

We're looking for a good ball game. We want it to be competitive to start. If we're competitive to start, we'll be in a better position to win.

I think we're going to have to run the ball better than we did against Cloverdale.

Speedway has some really good athletes so we have to cut down on their big plays.

There was a time in the first half where we completed seven passes in a row, which is really good. We don't care about touchdown passes. We don't care about yardage. We care about completions.
