I know it’s too much to hope for but it would be great if normal attire was the required instead of wearing shirts that look like NASCAR with emblems adorning the cars everywhere there is space. No one is buying anything because of a emblem on a already crowded shirt. But commercialization is rampant in everything we see, read or hear nowadays.
I just hope the commentators are not verbose, stick to pertinent observations and sidebar discussions should be of minimal duration. Instead, remarks and observations should be focused on what’s happening on the screen. Women announcers are very qualified to remark about male players and of course, vice versa. The key is to have a personality and insightful analysis because it is not just a one person announcer. There’s always at least one other person in the booth. So there needs to be some chemistry between the announcers and don’t just default to players with past championships. A great player is often times an otherwise very boring announcer so be sure to choose carefully.
Okay……here’s my question. I’d start a new thread but why bother since this one already exists. Instead of focusing on the venue or the American team selections, I would like to read how you feel about the best announcing combo’s, i.e., teams. Who would you propose to be the broadcast announcers?
Here is my first nominee…….Dr. David Alciatore……..if you have seen his videos, you know he is a pool genius and has a pleasant speaking tone and cadence. His observations would be so much more meaningful to hear.
My next nominee as his broadcast mate is…….any player that has played on a USA Mosconi Cup team but is not on this team. I just don’t want to see sentimental favorites picked to be in the announcers booth. What are your choices?
