WCWS Announcer Wrap up

[LT]

While most of us aren't pleased with the quality of the broadcasters...we must be very happy that NCAA & ESPN teamed up to broadcast this many games.

I hope they continue the coverage next year.

Hopefully they have heard some of concerns expressed on this website as well as the other fastpitch websites...through e-mail messages or even telephone calls from viewers.

They can grow from this experience and create a product that all can be pleased with.

ESPN took the "names" of fastpitch softball and attempted to make them play-by-play and color announcers thinking it may increase the size of the viewing audience. Maybe they can get some additional training during the next year, but to be honest the games would have been much better with professional broadcasters.

You know, we saw the same broadcaster problems during the regular college season. Watching Pac-10 games on the Fox Sports Network had the same problems of broadcasting people that didn't know the rules, nor the game.

Anyway, we did watch some great games.
