“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”
1936 inscription on the portrait of Dr. Naismith, displayed above Phog Allen's office desk at KU.
Did anyone else feel like that was a horrible decision to drag out a previously 1-hour show into 2 dreadful hours?
It almost felt like they just threw the script together as well for how they'd manage the time...from Sir Charles not knowing how to operate the board (and the awkward back and forth with the lead guy on that front) to them revisiting the regions over and over and over...to kicking it back and forth between the NBA guys and the college guys.
I thought it was horrible, unless the intent was to promote a new insomnia cure. I'd much prefer the traditional one-hour show, whose basic mission is to put out the brackets, do a little analysis, then stop--at which point I'd always switch over to ESPN for the deeper bracket dives and analysis.
Anyway, my DVR remote (fast-forward) got a very good workout with the new format!
