Antonelli does a good job when she does the men's games. I enjoy listening to her then.
 
I have zero problem with the Class of 2022 Hall of Fame members. I swear, not going to lie. Checking the roster, I always thought that Coach Doug Bruno was already in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. To find out that he is just now going in, was a complete shock. Congrats, to everyone who made the list.
 
I'm not big on awards, rankings...and a lot of other stuff surrounding sports in general. But the HOF should carry the highest standards. Its inductees should tell the story of the sport...without many words. IMO...Deb Antonelli doesn't tell me anything.

Why can't people just be f*ing happy for someone else? It boggles my mind how hard we try to find reasons not to.

If you look her up, you'd realize that she's been a part of, and an advocate for, women's basketball for about 40 years and was one of the first media presences. She's been recognized for her work and is well respected.

A Hall of Fame is to celebrate people that have had an impact in one way or another. Saying it's about name recognition is completely devaluing.

Blink! Where did I say it was about name recognition? I know how long she has worked and longevity alone doesn't make someone HOF worthy...IMO. If all it took was time in a profession...every retiree would be a HOF in their own profession. This isn't about respect. I simply don't think whatever it is she supposed did in 34 years amounts to being in the HOF. I ASKED what people thought. I didn't ask anyone to agree with what I THOUGHT. It's okay if you disagree, BUT spare me the profane response. Can you agree to that?
 
Regarding Antonelli - I think the more you hear her the less you like her. I don't really enjoy her commentary anymore and I really think she has increasingly become less and less neutral in her commentary.

That said, from all I have heard she is well deserving of the honor. She fits very well the definition of "contributor".
