Positives: Great work cutting around camera angles when getting reactions and hero shots of the player who scored. Talent did a good job not talking over one-another and there was also natural mics of sounds of audience and game play. Great job waiting for the time out to go to the replay, this is the best time to see replay looks during delay of gameplay so you don't miss any game action.
Improvements: Some of the camera shots were a little to tight and can be zoomed out a little so you don't risk any chances missing action.

Positives: - Good camera work throughout and good job by the director to use the resources available! I really liked the use of the under-basket cameras for hero shots right after made baskets, that's a great opportunity to get those cameras in during live action. - Liked the use of replay to fill a timeout, that's a great way to give the viewer a reason to stay engaged with your broadcast. Next step to make it even better would be to coordinate with the announcers so they can talk about the specific play that we're seeing.
Improvements: - The announcer was clearly very familiar with the Waubonsie Valley roster, which is to be expected. But it's important that you are equally familiar with the names on the visiting team roster as well. When you are, you sound prepared and like you did your homework and it's easy to take you as the expert for this matchup. When you aren't, it can have the opposite effect for your viewers. - One thing to work on for the call - when you're doing a radio call it's really important to say every name that touches the ball and describe the action because people can't actually see it. When we have live video, that becomes less important. I can see where the player is standing or that she is dribbling, so that can free you up to provide a little broader analysis of the play and game.

Positives: Good coverage. Good close-ups off of the ball.
Improvements: Video levels need to be brighter. Can't see when the ball goes in the basket. Need a better mix of announcers and crowd.
