..., I really dislike the penny ante camera setup ESPN is employing in the women's game.  I noticed exactly 2 (in the same spot, high at midcourt) and three mobile cameras.  That's not a lot for a national championship.  And really, how many shots that weren't (1) high from midcourt or (2) directly under the basket did you see the entire game?

It's not just the women's game.  The camera-work at the NIT games in NY was the most annoying I have ever viewed.  Lots of floor angle shots seemingly taken from seats that you wouldn't pay to sit in.  Long periods of time when play was going on and the camera was trained on someone in the audience or a player or coach on the bench.  there was a really sweet inbounds play by Stanford where all we saw was the ball going through the hoop...and never a replay.  I figured it was because their "A-team" folks were in Denver, but I guess not.  They don't seem to have any "A-Team" folks this year.  And what made it even more distressing at the NIT was that [I think] Kim Belton was the producer for the NIT broadcasts.
