OneHD Production Team

Please Please Please OneHD try and hire professionals that actually understand Basketball. Just now cutting to an ad break, they had a 25 second clip of highlights consisting of...............Turnovers!

Now Respect for going to Uni, landing an awesome job producing professional sport and making great money, but how in the hell can you think that highlighting all the shit plays of the half would be beneficial.


Unless the commentators specifically talk about sloppy play.

Study the NBA and how it is produced!!!!
I watch old Jordan games from the late 80's and its 10x more professional.

I agree with you Alabama Slamma, the tv production is quite often questionable. However I got the impression they delibrately showed those plays to highlight that the game was a slog, which it was. I dont think it was effective enough though and made it look like an error riddled sloppy game rather than an intense game.

Either that or they were trying to be funny.

I liked how Wortho hit the game winning three, and before showing a reply of it they decide to cut to an ad break.

Yeah, agree also. They need to be listening to this feedback and making some changes! We get very little air time so we need to make better use if it!!!

Couldn't believe my eyes when they misspelled Anstey as 'Chris Ainsty' during his half-time interview.

I just can not watch while NBL is shown in such low definition.
On a large tv it is just so pixelated.

Hawks-Tigers game this afternoon had an advert for NBL.TV on the LED signage with an error. No one puts any effort in this league as evidenced by all the sloppy mistakes.

Today when interviewing Joey Wright they had a graphic underneath with the name Shannon Ponton, I think he's that dropkick from The Biggest Loser.

Not good.

I agree the showed highlights of players getting to the rim but cutting to the next 'highlight' before they showed the shot going in or even being released.

I'm sorry but there is definitely someone taking the piss.

I love my cricket but could you imagine if it happened like that or on 7s tennis coverage... I'm sure there are still people out there that flick through channels and spotted NBL and stopped for a moment and had a laugh at how this league is 'professional'.

I'm not shitting on the league, it's administrators, the players, referees or the fans but I think something needs to happen before ten/one turn our game into something no company wants to invest money in

I think it's time someone with the skills to produce and the PASSION for the game apply for the job.

Lennon Cooper please STEP UP! I know you're at Foxtel, but you are exactly what the NBL needs.

Even the Laungerie Football League is produced way better than the NBL.
AFL
Cricket
Soccer
Netball
Rugby
Tennis
Are way more professional on TV it's not even close.

Ponton had been on the outfield catch podium at the Big Bash game previous so it might've been a copy and paste that wasn't noticed. Not to mention that Joey Wright hardly looked excited to be interviewed!

Funny you should mention the Legends (lingerie) league - I made the exact same comment to my wife. Decent prodution, good picture quality, pro uniforms and support cast. It's put together surprisingly well and the athletes play harder than you'd expect from what was likely a gimmick when it started in the US.

"Ponton had been on the outfield catch podium at the Big Bash game previous so it might've been a copy and paste that wasn't noticed."
He was also interviewed at the last Kings game, which is the more likely source of the issue.

It's a shame they got rid of those generic rotating CGI sneakers where player mugshots were supposed to be in the pregame lineup screen. They were a nice touch.

It's really bad also that they also showed a graphic that said the last time they met was round 4 when it was actually just a few weeks ago.

Simple mistakes that make the production appear so bad.

When did they do that? I remember seeing both, although it was during a commercial on NBL.TV, rather than the broadcast.

Commentary on the Hawks-Tigers game was reasonable I thought. And Carfino was a bit more enthusiastic for Kings-Sixers (loves Kings and Joey, so that probably helped).

The main commentator was great for Hawks-Tigers. He was genuinely following the league and even referenced what had happened the day before in the WNBL in regards to flopping and technical fouls.

He was curious to find out why Tiggs wasn't played towards the end and also what had happened to Farrakhan yet meathead Pilon goes down for the post game interviews and asks one basic question to Greer that a 5yr old would come up with and that was it. God I hate meathead ex players in the media.

Im a massive critic of Carfino, and I've made my feelings known on here before. But, credit must be paid when its needed and I also thought that Carfino was a lot more lively with the Syd-Adl game.

Being a pretty entertaining game and Carfino's obvious love for the Kings and Sixers probably helped. So I thought that was one of his better games.

Troy Pilon is atrocious. Adds nothing to the coverage. I don't necessarily agree with Isaac about Tom King - doesn't do anything for me as a play by play guy and needs to do a lot more research. I mean he was asking Pilon whether he had played with Adam Ballinger before!! Errrr remember a certain Grand Final in 2005??? I get sick and tired of listening to these guys who know next to nothing about the league and the game.

Overall, the NBL.TV commentators are pretty dreadful, although Andrew Johnstone knows his stuff and Cameron Luke has been pretty good when he's done the job. But they definitely need to look at bringing some fresh faces in next season.

Oh, and it's been done to death, but Steve Carfino is NOT a play by play commentator. Stick him in as the expert commentator and he would do much better.

Sorry, that should have read "I don't necessarily agree with anon". Sorry Isaac.

I don't think Perform really bothered with screening commentators, they had x amount of spots to fill and did so with whoever. I recall when NBL Radio was active many seasons ago the standard was much higher.
