Who is working the Duke / UNC game?

Then it's just me. But would you say in many / most other gyms and games we see on TV it is the other way around? It just looked very odd to me. So I must be used to watching other games where the main camera is set up across from the benches. That is much more interesting to me, as it's possible to see more interaction between officials and benches.

Duke has been like that for years. Kansas is another arena that also shows the court from table side. Not sure why this matters to you, but I am sure there are other gyms. Duke is always on TV and I am kind of shocked you just noticed this. I will also assume that this is the case because both arenas are much older than the TV era.

I'm shocked I haven't noticed it before as well. But it doesn't matter to me (I'm not losing sleep over it). I was just curious if it was new. And as I've said, I like the other view better as far as watching interactions with the bench. At least I was smart enough to know where to find the answer to my question.

To be perfectly honest, I DO NOT want to see the interactions between the coaches and the officials in most of these "big" games...the majority of the time the bench decorum guidelines are not followed and the game - at least in my opinion - becomes ridiculous because the coaches are allowed to rant and rave like lunatics...not really something I want to see. So at least when the cameras don't show the coaches I can enjoy watching the game...

Time for the NFL camera over top of the court on a string!
