Did it annoy anyone else that Adam Amin repeatedly called CW a true freshman. I understand in college football it’s common for incoming players to RS and even men’s basketball but in WCBB is it really prevalent to be a RS freshman? What’s wrong with Amin? Even though the broadcast wasn’t awful it’s certainly no SNY. Culmo, Frede and Justine are sorely missed for the biggest games.

Amin is such a poser. I’m done with anyone that doesn’t like Cadbury eggs. I saved my last one for last night when we wiped the floor with muffet.

Good news Mr Guy. Amazon will gladly ship multi pack Cadbury Eggs. No waiting for Easter! :D Do not forget to use the Amazon link at the top of the Boneyard home page! Perhaps you and Justine could split a pack!

I don't think Amin knows what he's talking about most of the time and Rebecca and Kara (who know better - or should) encourage him. But as bad as the three of them were yesterday, we (Boneyarders) are not their intended audience. ESPN has them reaching out to entertain the casual fan who will watch UCONN/ND because of the hype and may not watch another WCBB game until the Final Four. When you realize that - then there is no point in judging them harshly. They're just doing the job they're paid to do!

Sorry, there's no excuse for not keeping viewers updated on what's going on on the court. Everyone needs to know who committed a foul, how many fouls on certain players, etc. They can take a moment and let people know what's going on, and still have plenty of time to blabber.

I miss Frede and Justine.
 
While we’re at it, The ESPN studio crew(halftime team) are also awful. That old guy has lost 10 mph off his fastball. Almost unwatchable. Thank God I can fast forward it.

Not prevalent and not relevant. Oh how the mighty, meaning Kara, have fallen. So beloved and lionized after Doris left. Now look. Who would you guys rather have now. Kara, Amin, and Rebecca, or Doris and Dave O'Brien?

Don't want Doris and Dave, I can live with Kara, Amin and Rebecca.

I thought the true freshman thing was silly. But I mostly like Amin. The problem is, he doesnt insert himself enough in the conversation to call the game. Three people are definitely too many in the booth!

I enjoy many of the insights, but Rebecca and Kara get "chatting" off topic too much. I dont see how that appeals to the casual fan. I certainly wouldnt continue watching just to hear their chatter. Really, it is like signalling that they are disinterested in the game. And if they arent interested, what is a viewer to think? Much prefer when they are analyzing offensive or defensive options etc. That seems to happen more with just two in the booth. I didnt think it was as bad in this game as in some.

The director, or whoever, should instruct Amin (or whoever is the play-by-play person) that calling the game is foremost and that he should break into any conversation to inform the viewer what is happening on the court.
 
Well, in the first place, we don't need three, which simply clogs things up. I thought Amin was dreadful last year and was much better in this game. Still not great by any means, but much better. I really thought he did less of the annoying stiff this time around. I was figuring that he is growing up. I suspect he is one of those less-expensive people they replaced ore-expensive people with in their cost-cutting. So in a sense, he's a kid and just learning how to do it.That's my best guess, anyway.
