So the only credential I need to announce volleyball is a photo of me playing volleyball. Good to know. Maybe Amazon will hire me for next season 🤦♂️ "I haven't seen her play enough to know if thats normal for her." Said about Summer Ross. The expert commentator has not seen the US' no. 2 player play enough to say if she has changed an important part of her game. How is that possible? Ignorance is one thing but not doing simple background stuff like watching previous matches is unprofessional Again, it's like small market TV with the ladies in particular, I can't even imagine how horrible the ones who failed the audition were. Bad, bad, bad.

They don't go as deep as holding auditions for this gig my brother. And even if they did, the broadcast suggests that the producers wouldn't have the knowledge to pick the most qualified applicants regardless.

My final verdict on Amazon is that this weekend I watched less volleyball because of it. I cant remember an event when I watched fewer matches (maybe 5 total). Part of that was lousy planning - 3 straight low level womens matches on Thursday, I dont get why the AVP cant understand that early round womens games tend to suck and late round mens games also do - because of Nick/Phil Program accordingly, no one is becoming a BVB fan by watching Janelle Allen play Betsi Flint.
That said, most of what was unpleasant about watching was the announcers. Put Tri, who is no 1992 Chris Marlowe himself, back on the broadcast and I would have watched 8-10 matches at least. Kelli Tennant in particular is just awful and detracts from the game. She is frequently wrong and doesn't know the players well or understand the nuance of the game at all
I think just cutting her from the broadcast would be a huge improvement since Camryn at least seems like she has some knowledge and has done some research.

Yup...Kelli needs to take the exit off the stage and find a new gig...I vote for Tri..NBac broastcast was great!

I can live with Cam and Barnett....Kelly struggles.... and doesn't seem to know that she struggles.
(Cam is so young, I'm hoping she develops into a better announcer--much as Barnett has)
