Yeah, sign me up for the same thing, but regarding sideline reporters interviewing players / coaches during games.
"Wow, you guys are winning by a lot, what do you attribute it to?"
"Just executing the gameplan. Trusting our teammates."
"Really struggled there in the 3rd quarter, what can you do to turn it around for the 4th?"
"Execute better on defense and offense."
Fucking scintillating, thanks Abby. I'd frankly rather listen to PJ Carlesimo prattle on about coaching Seton Hall in the 80s, because at least Scal might say something funny in response. Once in a great while, Doris Burke used to ask an interesting question or somehow get an interesting answer from these "interviews", but in general it is a mind-numbing waste of time for everyone involved. Like, who is asking for that? Who exactly wants to have these questions asked, when you know you'll get no insight out of the media-trained answer?
If you're going to ask athletes or coaches frivolous questions in the middle of a game, when they're definitely not going to give you tactical insight or thoughtful responses, at least make it fun.
"Luke, what was your favorite play that half?"
"Derrick, is that baby keeping you up much at night, or do you go the earplugs route?"
"Jayson, looked like you thought you were fouled on that drive there with 3 minutes left, what happened from your perspective?"
"Kristaps, do you look to combine with Jaylen a little bit extra because he's your boy, or is the team running more actions just for you two?"
