A good time of year to start a thread about live sports production. Super Bowl, March Madness and the playoffs all bring out the best in the business. Innovation, experimentation and thousands of hours of coverage.
I love discussing the coverage of live sporting events with passionate fans and SoSH always delivers.
So this is the place to kvetch about camera angles, why one network shows certain replays and others don't, sabermetrics usage/implementation, and in-game coach interviews.
A little background: I'm a producer that covers mainly collegiate athletics - basketball, football, lacrosse and baseball for ESPN, CBS Sports Network and the NCAA among others.
Hopefully I can answer some of your questions and learn what you people really want to see.
