POLL: Becca's Announcing Style

[ChicagoGG]

Just compare her to Kara, who is the real deal...

Kara Lawson, yes! Kara Wolters....not so much.

I get the impression that Becca is going for a Vitale-style vocal signature...she needs to consider it a work-in-progress, but a well-intentioned idea...

That was my thought hearing her a few games back. She's toned it down a bit since then, I think,

In may be well-intentioned, but sure ain't smart. Or good for fans.

And so what if ESPN is pressing her? Kara seems to be able to maintain her dignity somehow.

I am afraid I have to agree with you. With Rebecca's insight into the game and general intelligence I expected her to be an analyst at the Kara Lawson level. Instead she is a faded version of Doris Burke whose analysis has declined over the years and is more gossip than analysis.

I feel so lucky to be a BY er where many are great coachs and expert announcer critics. Bet Picozzi and Culmo breathed a sigh of relief.

Not me, but there are quite a few of the colleagues whose commentaries are better than anything you can here from all the above mentioned except Kara L. Gotta have that L, which is what I meant, of course. I have no TV, and so I often get the game from the BY...although tonight I decided to walk over to the gym.
