Thank Goodness For Office TVs.

We hope that if you were already at work at 8:40 AM this morning (as we were), and you couldn't find a TV somewhere around your office (fortunately we both found one), you took our advice and recorded the CBS Early Show this morning so that as soon as you arrive home, you can watch Harry Smith's interview of Coach B, Harp and Marissa.

All three were all appropriately dressed in Terps gear and appeared live from the court at Comcast . . . and Coach B and Harp actually seemed to be awake! (Aside to Marissa: "Starbucks.") It was a wonderful piece, and great national exposure for Coach B and the Terps' program. We particularly loved Coach B's promise to be at Comcast for the first two rounds of the NCAA tourney, with the twins!

*Update* If you missed the broadcast this morning and can't wait till you get home, the Early Show has now posted the video on its web site!

And speaking of "Brenda" Broadcasts. . . Two of the BasketCases' favorite TV commentators, Beth Mowins and Debbie Antonelli, have been hosting a "National Women's Basketball Podcast" this season called ShootAround, which you can find here on the web site of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. This week's edition features a long, warm, wonderful, and funny interview with Coach B about her pregnancy and her coaching . . . but also ends with startling news about baby names! This podcast definitely qualifies as a must listen. (The interview begins not quite halfway into the program . . . but these two Pod People are fun to listen to, even if they aren't talking about the Terps.)

Hey Cases: How about showing those of us w/out office video some love, and posting the interview, either here or on YouTube?

Rock on,

Would that we could. First of all, we're at work! Second, that would require a level of technological sophistication that we haven't quite mastered yet. LOL!

But the good news is that the Early Show has posted the video on its own web site. We've added the link above.

Thanks to all the media suddenly giving love to the Maryland women's basketball team - they didn't receive this type of coverage for winning the national championship!

Funny, our recollection is a bit different. We recall lots of positive media attention after the Natty, and we have a stack of yellowing newspapers to prove it. LOL. We think the latest media attention, which has more of a "human interest" flavor, is also good for the program.
