Play-by-plsy sports coverage
For the play-by-play project we have to do:
•3 best play-by-play calls... can be anywhere from 15-30 seconds long
•also have to do 2 minutes of sustained p-b-p
•***Steve said that if one of your best p-b-p calls is in your 2 minute clip, then you don't have to
have that separate 15-30sec clip***
•DON'T USE "ZERO" --- NOT SPORTS JARGON.... SAY "NOTHING" INSTEAD
•Two main examples he went over in class
•Football
■Time and score --- must have... after every score, give the update too
■Down and distance
■if you have the time, say the formation (ex. McGloin in the gun, 2 far, 2 near,
etc.) --- if you are confused with this, I can explain it a little better in person lol
■Identify the player who made the play... depending on speed of play/amount of
players in area, you can identify the player when the play is over (ex. if two PSU
receivers and 3 defenders are in the same area going for the ball like in a Hail
Mary)
•Baseball
■Player I.D. is easier because of speed of game
■Lack of action in baseball
■Fill in the blanks along the way
■See how the fielders are playing the batter (outfielders
shallow/deep, shifted right/left... infielders playing in, playing
for the double play, protecting the line, etc.
■Easy to tell how the ball was hit by looking at the outfielders reaction
■starts running back towards wall = over his head
■starts running towards the gap = ball hit to the gap
■starts running towards infield = ball hit shallow
■ETC
