Message: [QUOTE="fly2themoon, post: 3920919, member: 10318"] Disclosure. I am a mere fan of Women’s College Basketball, not an expert and as such have my own opinions but nothing more. I have watched enough press conferences by the WCBB players and coaches, both the Huskies and opponents, and many times couldn’t help myself thinking how ridiculous and unprepared some of the questions are from the media. Fortunately, I have found the players and coaches able to come up with much more intelligent answers than the level of questions being asked. Of course, this is a very broad generalization but can the media be more professional, prepared, and unbiased? Or is it my wishful thinking? We all have our own self interest including people in the media. But media professionals should be subjected to additional standards of objectivity and professionalism. Some folks at a particular sports channel covering WCBB too often exhibit lack of the above. Promoting rivalries that don’t exist, bias shown when stating So. Carolina should have won vs the Huskies, putting so much pressure on the 19-year old freshmen for the sake of rating, nonsensical bracket predictions, just to show some examples. I am not suggesting, by any means, the media coverage of WCBB is not up to par but just saying there are some bad apples and hope they get better. JMHO. [/QUOTE]
