    To @Natebishop3's point. Radio guys are never going to talk about off the ball action on either end. They just can't possibly do that. So they aren't calling out defensive rotations unless a missed rotation ends in points or back cuts that don't result in points, along with a thousand other nuanced things that you can observe while watching a game, as long as the video production is done well, which it is 95% of the time.

    It isn't semantics. It's a completely different conversation.

    You're talking about experience and I'm not talking about experience. I'm talking about having the whole picture of analysis. I don't care about experience. I'm not talking about that.

    You like to wax poetic about shit and sometimes I have no idea what you're talking about.

    All of this is available for review after the game is over online...and still 3 refs miss fouls off the ball and illegal screens etc..with a courtside view of the game....visuals are great, but no one has enough eyes to see 10 players at once in a possession without replay capabilities...which is why they use them. Michael Holton has a damned good seat and can walk you through a set pretty effectively...often mentioning how plays work or don't. He's better than Lamar Hurd or Jordan Kent at it in my view.

    I didn't hear them today, so maybe they added more, but presumably they talked about it just off of that tweet as well?

    All good. I agree. I just meant that Mikes news updates repeat every 15 minutes or so. :)

    This is bullshit..but if it happens, I find it hard to believe they don’t have a plan in place to make Root available on streaming services by then. Cable is a dying breed, like print newspapers.
