Anyone ever notice

That the tiger hawk under the mid court scoreboard seems to be facing the wrong direction? I guess it just looks wrong to me as other people might think that is the correct way to put it.

Anyways, file it under my Carver dislike file.

I think on TV it faces right side up for the camera... of course that would be upside down for the coaches players on the bench and announcers..

I think they got it right... more people watching on TV than at the game.

you could move the camera to the other side of the arena... but then we wouldn't get the great reactions we see from Fran and his players.. and the opposing coach as well

Yeah also seems like it’s always going to point one way or the other? How can you tell what the right way is anyway.

I always refer to Hawkeye Elvis for the correct direction of the tiger hawk.

I think officially the beak should be pointing or going right. Correct me if I am wrong.

Spin off question...........

I can only think of two other schools/arenas that when on TV... don't show the teams/benches/coaches from the front....

1) Duke (shows Cameron Crazies)
2) Vanderbilt (where the benches are in the far corners - so weird) ...

Are there any others???

Vandy is the weird one, benches at the end?

I know Kansas used to have the benches on the camera side- not sure if they still do.

Nice one! yep! they do... always get a good Bill Self top of the noggin shot during the game.

I like Vandy's setup. Good looking court too

put a wrestling mat over it and problem solved

Most of Spencer Lee's opponents concur that the beak is to the right, and correct.
