Tonight's FOX commentary
Some interesting points:
Homicide Williams operating in a 3 man commentary team, as I think was suggested on these forums. Good to see the NBL/FOX incorporating some fan suggestions? And just the general attitude of being willing to try different things.
I only watched the highlights but it seems Homicide is not your traditional expert analysis type of guy but more bringing that streetball/fan culture with comment like "thats the emotion I need to see big fella!" and "and-1! nice finish young fella with the left hand over the giant!" or even the simple "dolla dolla beal!". Did Robbins provide the expert insight to complement this?
Also thought the play-by-play guy sounded very good. Like when he said "Redhage drives down the lane and dishes to Jawai" it was refreshing to hear some natural basketball terminology used to describe the play. I give props to the football commentators for their enthusiasm but you won't hear terminology like that (which is quite simple) used by them naturally.
