I guess I'm just a fuddy-duddy, but on these and similar videos: 1. she asks scripted questions; 2. the videos could well be edited so that the questions seem spontaneous but she could be doing a number of takes and/or have an ear piece in her off camera ear with the director whispering questions.

I have to be honest. I just don't ever sense she's really on the game when she asks spontaneous questions (read and react!) during the game. I really, really hate the obvious segregation in TV sports  between the insightful announcers and the obligatory young (usually attractive) woman adding occasional sideline comments (Suzy Kolber being the obvious exception). I have to believe that there are a zillion really talented and committed aspiring sports announcers who don't have to hone their craft, but could offer real insight and ask tough questions. Of all places, in women's college sports we should be rewarding those who demonstrate the greatest competency, not just because they are visually appealing.

Fuddy-duddy over and out,
