I didn't see it, nor cared to much about it, but curious to know what he talked about? He doesn't have a very good grip on the modern day NBL (former Wildcat and NBL star Steven Lisch anyone??) so doubt he could talk about the NBL. What else does he know?

I cant judge cos I didn't see it but can only guess it was crap :)

Yeah, probably not worth the time watching this garbage. Carfino cant offer anything to any of the conversations because he doesn't even know any other sport...

Everytime they went to him he just gave a generic answer or agreed with someone elses answer. He wont be back on surely.

Terrible show and did nothing for basketball or the NBL, didnt even show highlights of any basketball.

As painful as it is to listen to Carfino during NBL telecasts.....he actually got through last night without stuffing up.

Sports Fan Club House's entire piece on the NBL last night lasted about 1-2 minutes and focused entirely on James Ennis (the only other NBL team mentioned last night was, shock horror - the Kings, and that was only when they were talking about Anthony Mundine of all people). But Carfino was on for longer than that and was talking about other sports as well.

The web site lists soccer as football, some may be confused by this, then it has tabs for a host of sports considered by them as coming before basketball.

I don't think the NBL is high on their agenda, maybe they will warm to the league but it doesn't feature above a casual comment by the looks of it...

Put Carfino on a panel show and he goes really well actually.

I wonder how he would perform on THE panel show.

Just want to put it out there that I have no problem with Steve Carfino. I have listened to him commentating for years and I have no problem with him which is saying something because I am easily irritated. He doesn't grate on me and I believe he has an appreciation and good knowledge for the game and NBL players. Maybe I am different but I am not sure what the basis is for the belittling he receives in this forum.

On the other hand I could name a number of AFL commentators that I could throttle because they irk me but I am not going to.

Carfino irritates me and probably others for his consistent mistakes, such as getting player names wrong. If it was development players or bench players that he got wrong, then fine I can accept that. Its when he gets big name players wrong - that irritates me! Fumbling former player Kevin Lischs name when he was talking about him and calling him Steven Lisch is just plain stupid and in my opinion lacks respect. Thats just one recent example, but he cocks up quite frequently.

I only critisise him so much because i really want to see a good quality NBL TV coverage. Its very average and borderline boring, and Carfino is a big reason for it.

AFL commentators get players names wrong too, but you never hear them get the big names wrong. In the NBL, theres only 80 names to remember, and he only really needs to know 40 of those well.

He does little research, and thats evident in his calling, he seems bored and shows little excitement or enthusiasm. If he wasnt the main commentator, i wouldnt mind so much, but he leads the coverage. He has to do better being in the position that hes in.
