Couldn't agree more. I was disgusted with the lack of respect shown to Brett Maher in his last game. There was little more than a token mention of it. When the final siren sounded, I think all Australian viewers wanted a shot of Maher leaving the court one last time, and maybe even an interview. If Fox Sports were doing the game, I'm sure that's what we would have got. Instead, nothing. Ninnis had to go out of his way in the post-game interview to mention him, and the reporter simply went on to ask for a tip in the Breakers-Tigers series. Shouldn't surprise us. The Maori TV coverage is always shocking. How many times do they have to go to an extreme close-up DURING play, meaning we always miss the next basket? And how many times do we need to see the back of corporates' heads? Is their ear-wax really that fascinating? And why do they so often change language mid-sentence? Is this not disrespectful to the Australian viewers, who they know are watching? And why do the Breakers always chose no more than 3 songs each season and play the hell out of them. We get it...Patrick Hernandez was born to be alive! It says something about the country of New Zealand when they need a big decal in the middle of the court saying "Family Violence is not OK!" Fair enough though, after watching Maori TV's coverage you do feel like taking out your frustration on your grandmother. Can't wait for next Friday....
