It is the night before my first basketball play-by-play broadcast of the season, and well for me, this is the Eve of a New Year. Tomorrow night it will be UMass Lowell men's basketball hosting Clark University in an exhibition matchup. Not only will it be a tune-up for the RIver Hawks, but it will also be a chance for me to get back into the swing of things. Game time is at 7 p.m. and you can watch the Live Video Here. I am always looking for feedback, so please feel free to send me your thoughts on anything I do.
Even though it is a video broadcast, I call the action as if it is "radio only" since it is just a high-angle, one-camera production with the only graphic being a scoreboard overlay. Plus, this gives the viewer/listener the option of turning their speakers up and walking into another room.
This is my third season as the voice of UMass Lowell men's and women's basketball. The opportunity came about after I filled in on a pair of broadcasts during the 2009-'10 season. When the position opened up, I transitioned right into it, and have been running with it since. It is a staple of my freelance broadcasting schedule during the winter months.
Tomorrow starts a stretch of 23 games that I will be announcing in some form or fashion between November 7 and December 7. Of course, that does not include my work on Sports Radio WEEI. Later this week I will be making my debut as a color commentator for Brown University men's hockey and on Saturday afternoon I will be providing the play-by-play for the Northeast-10 Football Conference Championship game. More on those events at that time.
I will be back tomorrow with another post, updating the experience of my first basketball broadcast of the year.
