NBB's quixotic request does point out an irony, that while broadcasting bandwidth has produced more games being shown, it's at a lower level of elucidation.
I think many of us would love to understand at a deeper level what is happening within the game, and how it has evolved since we were players.
But maybe not enough of us, and certainly not enough from that highly prized demographic who parts with their money and personal data quickly and impulsively. I guess for the powers-that-be we're too wise to waste time on making smarter.
this is why I jumped on the announcers day one...we learn about their vacations,what restaurants to go to and everything else,,,BUT,,,what's going on in the game. Who made the pass, who shot the shot, who got subbed,,,if we weren't watching the game we'd have no idea what/why/how things happened
These announcers cold be taking that time to show knowledge, like Hubie Brown did in his day
