Don’t Bother USC Coach Jeremy Bates When He’s Talking Strategy
By Larry Brown | September 12, 2009 - Posted in College Football

Some TV crews are so intrusive they actually cross the line from informative to invasive. What ESPN’s cameras did at the end of the USC/Ohio State game definitely falls into that category. USC was looking to finish off their drive with about a minute left and they were talking things over during a timeout. Naturally the ESPN cameras tried to get a glimpse of the private conversation and got blown off by SC coach Jeremy Bates:

There’s a line between real live sports and produced sports drama, and throwing the cameras in there for a closeup in that situation crosses the line. I’m glad Bates told them to beat it so that the camera guy understood there still are some limits.

      Maybe Bates was paying homage to Woody Hayes in Ohio Stadium.

      I love Brent Musburger’s comment, maybe he’s camera shy.
