    Blogging courtside is bullshit, IMHO
    I'm not big on blogs. To me, it's sometimes like you're reading talk/shock radio scripts.
    Course, everybody's got an opinion and what better place to hold court with yours than, .. courtside!

    Blogging during the game, unless there's something really newsworthy to report, is awfully tough to do during a basketball game. Especially when you're taking play-by-play and even tougher when you're on a tight deadline.

    And Trent is cool peeps. Used to deal with him back in the day when he was on the UC beat.

    I hope you can type quickly during those 20-second and commercial timeouts.

    That actually seems pretty easy, at least for the first half. One at each media timeout, then the last one when one team or the other realizes it hasn't called a TO in the first half and will lose it if it doesn't.

    As for the second half, just wait until there's a minute left. With the way CBS broadcasts the games, you'll have a dozen opportunities to choose from.
