Watched the Madden documentary and he really pioneered the “teaching” aspect of broadcasting. Using the telestrator and diagramming plays really showed viewers what they were actually watching. As much as Reddit loves to hate him, Collinsworth also does a great job of dissecting plays on SNF.
The NBA needs to find a former coach who wants to talk more X’s and O’s, and give them space to do it. That means a 2 man booth as well.
Literally just give the ref a Red Lobster table ready buzzer and each coach has a button they can push. Obviously it would be modified so the ref can wear it but same tech.
Added bonus, you can sync the button signal to a camera with a light so you can review the moment of timeout.
