NBL Facebook - Cancel Your Plans, New Broadcast...
"Ch10 are doing a great job with the big bash and if they can continue to bring what works with that to the NBL"
The reason we got what we did last night is that the NBL have finally got rid of Channel 10 from the production process.

Better?
Got some overhead shots, which is informative and perhaps good for the coaches among us, though would definitely benefit from some expert commentator analysis, but not particularly exciting.
Got more intrusive - and pointless & annoying - in-game chats with coaches and change-room shots [no, we don't want them, nor need them. They are trite, twee, and add nothing, though I suppose doing it does show how clever/powerful the TV director is] and LOTS more shots of the crowd while there was action happening on court. So there was a big crowd. And a lot of people were wearing red and funny wigs and costumes. Maybe they could have a show on sport crowds and their antics, which would allow the director/camera men to focus on the on-court action when televising a basketball [or other] game. Or was the problem director just more interested in the crowd than the game?
We also got an advert while an interview with the new NBL chairman was underway! Would VERY willingly have foregone the pointless locker-room footage for the interaction with the chairman. Probably didn't say much but might have given us some idea about him.
And in exchange for the supposed 'improvements' we got less action replays and we didn't get the half-time team stats [shooting percentages, etc], which I [used to] value.
Different? Yes. Better? Not in my opinion.

Will the NBL/broadcaster make the same effort for Sunday's game with Wollongong playing? I hope so.

Was the best broadcast in a long, long time!
Also a great, entertaining game too which helped.
Can they replicate this again this season? Time will tell.

They need more replay decks. That jib should be being locked on one deck and used for replays. Also need a replay deck on low sideline camera and one on the high camera shots. Should be replays of key plays going into each ad break and during appropriate stoppages in play. Get the commentators commenting on how plays happened more with replays to back up there points.

Where in adelaide can i watch game 5?
Will most pubs show it if i ask?
and what time is the game shown on fox?
