Gold Medal Game

[HoopsFan21]

Ball hit the rim how is that a shot clock violation?

 

[Blue Huskie]

It hit the rim!

Ya know what's great? After this game Geno goes home to coach you-know-what team....

 

[HoopsFan21]

This is like watching an SEC game.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Sue for 3!!!!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie is in!

 

[HoopsFan21]

2 FTs for Stewie!

I wish these commentators would just call the game. I don't need storytime the whole game. Especially when they talk and talk and talk to sat nothing.

The guy that's announcing has two favorite sayings: shot clock is unplugged and that's a healthy three.

Ahh, you must have never heard Ann Meyers call a game. This is how she ALWAYS is. Although today she is giving a gold medal performance in run on sentences and random stream of consciousness.

Ann Meyers waxes nostalgic about the good old days seemingly oblivious about the game in front of her.

Thank you!!! I have wanted to say something about Ann Meyers!!! I had forgotten about how she called games as she used to all the time. I get tired of hearing Tennessee references. It's a little nauseating.

I just want to give props to Angel McCoutry (sp?). In the past I have been a strong critic of her attitude but during these Games she has shown she can be a real team player.

Honestly,

I agree but of the mind it has to do with coaching. I'm sure she is aware that GA won't take it. I always felt she would do better with a tough coach.

Unfinished business

 

[Blue Huskie]

Sylvia not getting any love from the refs in this one.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Unfinished business

You can add "all cotton" and "two possessions for one."

 

[Beemer]

So good to see Sue Bird out there

 

[HoopsFan21]

Nice play to end the half

 

[Kaizen]

Wooo, I see two times all five in the floor were UConners ....

Maya & Tina en fuego

Not every player with Angel's talent level would stand to benefit from being coached by Geno in college. When you're that talented, you'll be good no matter who you're coached by.

But I think Angel is one of the ones who would have benefited. I think that her professional game would have been closer to her Olympics game, if Geno had been around in those formative college years. Her pro game's great, but the Olympic game is even better, IMO. (I think Griner is another one who would have benefited)

These announcers are not very observant, twice there was an all UCONN lineup on the floor and not a mention.

I had that same thought, and EDD could have benefited on her defensive play.

Maya has 12 pts, 5 asts, 4 rebs... You Go Maya ~~~

I taught sports broadcasting for many years, though this doesn't mean I know it all; tastes can vary as well. But one thing I am pretty sure of is that commentary needs to be connected to the game in front of you (your audience's game).
