That became a theme: The first half of Duke’s game against Georgia State in October was wiped out entirely when N.C. The network’s banner live schedule show was delayed, and delayed, and delayed again by a women’s soccer game between Florida State and Colorado that went into overtime as basketball fans fumed for 32 minutes (and Virginia accidentally released its schedule early). Scheduling was a bigger issue at times, most notably on what should have been one of the network’s biggest nights: the reveal of the men’s basketball schedule, already later than usual on September 12. I know the play had call but it was very kind of them to remember him and our family ties to both & It was nice to be part of it again. I appreciate the thought by our crew to honor #HeyWoody tonight during our coverage of UNC-GT. What was meant to be a tribute to the Durham family during the Georgia Tech-North Carolina game with Wes Durham on play-by-play went awry when the network played a clip of current radio announcer Jones Angell instead of Woody Durham, Wes’ late father and the longtime voice of UNC football and basketball. That happens, but instead of cutting the interview short, it continued for several questions with Brey barely audible, like nothing was wrong. But Brey’s microphone didn’t work, and he could only be faintly heard through the broadcasters’ microphones. The Notre Dame coach sat down with ACC Network broadcasters Steve Schlanger and Dan Bonner and donned a headset. Mike Brey’s experience after a win was typical. While ESPN gave the network a corporate polish and made it a lab for new technology, the frequent use of remote production teams and student labor occasionally led to technical glitches. “Some of this is getting our legs underneath of us and figuring out where our resources align and what we can do, but that is another area of opportunity, to figure out how we serve those pregames and halftimes and postgames, for sure,” McCollum said. That was deliberate, as the network felt its way through staffing and the best use of its studio personalities, but expect that to change in Year 2. Its ACC-focused studio shows, whether from Mark Packer’s basement studio or the football show featuring an unchained Mark Richt, were one of the network’s strong points.īut on some Saturday basketball marathons, the network aired a pre-recorded version of Packer and Durham instead of a basketball-focused live show at halftime and between games. One of the lessons of Year 1 might be that the network, if anything, underestimated the fervor of its fans, especially during basketball season.

Nothing compares to seeing the excitement in the building when we’re wrestling against the team down the street with a full house in Reynolds.” Especially things that otherwise people wouldn’t have an opportunity to see, like a volleyball match or a soccer match or wrestling. “It’s an opportunity for people to take pride in who we are and show off our students, what they’re doing athletically, the way that they comport themselves. State athletic director Boo Corrigan said. State and who we are as an institution,” N.C.
“This has been a great opportunity for us to further tell the story of N.C.
