This is true 90% of the time for content that appears on streaming and sometimes for lesser broadcasts that actually make the ACC network. But ESPN/ACCN sends staff to most revenue sport events and their game of the week style programming for Olympic Sports. And they always send one of their top national staff teams for ACC Championship broadcasts like this ACC Tournament.

We got Leah Secondo for play-by-play, who will do the NCAA final 4 event again this year, She has been doing it for over a decade now. She did not attend an ACC school but most on here think she seems to be tired of UNC dominance and has a tendency to pull a bit for the underdog. Just more in tone/excitement than anything she says, her analysis is usually spot on.

Suzanne Bush did color, Today I learned she went to Louisville (thx @TH123 ) and played there. But she is also a top FH commentator nationally, including the NBC broadcast of the Paris Olympics. I am sure the fact that she lives in Louisville and does not need a travel per diem made the decision for ESPN/ACCN a no brainer.

I think this pair will do every game in the tournament?

To be clear I have no problem with this duo. the alternative is often somebody who has only a basic understanding of field hockey, cannot identify penalties called, and does not provide any real insight.

They are the ACCN A-team. They do tend to root for the underdog, but they are knowledgeable & do their homework. The network is getting some younger ex-players behind the mic this season (at Syracuse, Abby Pitcairn here) & I think it’s great for the game.

If you want a fun listen, watch some St Joe’s home games. He’s a great announcer with a true love of the game. Big time homer, but very good at what he does.

They won't give the award to Erin. We all know that she should win coach of the year but they are not going to give it to her. How in the blank get WF has players get those awards.

TBF she won it last year, Kinda hard not to when you go undefeated. But I will absolutely agree that they just plain wont give it to her every year, regardless of of merit. Anybody But Carolina if there is anyone else in the conversation.

Horrible events yesterday. My girlfriend went to Louisville for grad school and lived right by the field hockey stadium (you could see the apartments during the game yesterday). Was pretty funny seeing the McDonald’s I frequented often as well. Praying for that community.

It’s not Chapel Hill, but they have a nice college vibe for what many would call a commuter school.
