Message: [QUOTE="psconn, post: 4519358, member: 293"] 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. This is especially true in "local" broadcasts where we don't have as many camera angles and slo-mo opportunities. When Lou hit that siiick turnaround jumper from the left baseline neither announcer seemed to notice. That was a remarkable shot in a women's basketball game and was worthy of comment. The announcers were into the ...blah, blah, blah... 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!!" I also don't need constant close-ups of coaches and player on the sidelines while the game is in progress. 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. You can observe both at once. Anyway, I agree that SNY does a pretty good job overall despite some flaws that were already mentioned. [/QUOTE]
