Much prefer the late Billy Packer's dissection of offense and defense tactics. Unlike the men's games, where the the analyts are tactical, the women's side amplify what we are seeing. I was the co-play-by-play voice of our basketball team on the college FM radio station, training incoming freshman and sophomores.įOR ME (horses for courses), women's basketball broadcasts are sub-par, SNY particularly so. I grew up obsessed with play-by-play of sports, with Marv Albert for basketball and hockey (Dan Kelly on TV), Marty Glickman for football, and Rizzuto, Coleman, Red Barber and Mel Allen for baseball. You can observe both at once.Īnyway, I agree that SNY does a pretty good job overall despite some flaws that were already mentioned. Unless some notable action is taking place there (an interesting interaction or reaction that adds to my understanding or enjoyment), keep the cameras on the game! I am a long-time bench watcher at live games, you can get some real insights BUT the live experience is way different. ![]() I also don't need constant close-ups of coaches and player on the sidelines while the game is in progress. chat-mode and you wanna scream (and I sometimes do) "are you even watching this game?!? Get your head out of your 'fun chat-notes' and pay attention!!" That was a remarkable shot in a women's basketball game and was worthy of comment. When Lou hit that siiick turnaround jumper from the left baseline neither announcer seemed to notice. This is especially true in "local" broadcasts where we don't have as many camera angles and slo-mo opportunities. I get that it is not a radio broadcast and that we can see most of what is happening but a play by play needs to enhanmce our "vision" by ensuring that we are aware of key facts, stats, strategies and situations. ![]()
