Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Wednesday, December 21, 2005

The Globe continues its "Road to Boston" series with a feature about TV coverage of the women's game.

ESPN director of programming Carol Stiff explains how they pick games.
We need to just be really, really smart. We select a few windows of opportunity and just a few games.. . We ask schools to play each other. Our goal is to program the best games that we're contractually obligated to do and sprinkle in some new matchups [to] try to develop a new Connecticut-Tennessee rivalry.
