- 4/24 10:23 am - Overall, great broadcast, as always. York does an outstanding job. Graphics are outstanding. Good use of replay. If you repeat the same replay, transition to another angle or live action, then come back to the same replay again. Announcers did a great job and matched the enthusiasm of the moment. While this moment is great to submit, there is a lot of dead time. Maybe consider submitting something that has more action in the entire three-minute time span. If possible, add some cameras on the floor for cutaways or replay. The director needs more options besides those two cameras.
- 3/5 9:31 am - +The HT camera was used very well. It can be difficult to frame hero shots well and to know how long to hold on the hero. You did an excellent job with both. + I really appreciated the slow-mo replay. Technically, this broadcast is well done. The only small thing, that you probably can't control, is the shaking of the game cam when the stands shake.
Judge 1
Positives: Good job cutting to a hero reaction shot of the player who scored the basket on a tight camera angle. The score graphic looks very professional and good job animating it out when going to the replay, the transition was very smooth.
Improvements: Talent sounded very excited about the game and for the most part did well not talking over one another, but even though they may be excited, they shouldn't scream causing audio to over modulate. You did a good job showing the team huddle coming out of replay, but after a little bit the look gets old and by cutting around to other "color" shots can help engage the viewer. Anytime there is a delay in game due to a time out, etc. cameras can provide the viewer by getting shots of the bench, coach talking to players, cheerleaders, fans in the audience, etc.

Positives: - Really great use of a replay to show us that key 3-pointer a second time. The operator had that cued up and ready to go quickly and slowed it down to an appropriate speed. - Loved the enthusiasm from the announcers - especially when you're calling a neutral site game where neither team is your school it's really great to still have that energy and passion. The fans watching will appreciate it.
Improvements: - Remember that we are a visual medium, so when we go to timeouts it is still important to have something interesting to show. We sat for a while on the game cam with just the empty court - would be a great time to get a shot of the huddle, or both huddles! - For the announcers - there's an important difference between excitement and volume. It was brief, but when the 3 first went in we got very loud, which leads to overmodulated audio and the audience not really being able to understand you at all. It's great to be excited - but that doesn't mean the same thing as being loud.
Judge 3
Positives: Announcers exhume excitement. Good replays. Good graphics.
Improvements: The main camera needs to push in when the ball moves towards the basket. Audio mix needs more crowd noise.
