Hearn is remembered for his rapid-fire, staccato broadcasting style, associated with colorful phrases such as slam dunk, air ball, and no harm, no foul that has become common basketball vernacular.

Most of Hearn's games in the television era were simulcast on both radio and television, even after most teams chose to use different announcers for the different media.
