The Eye in the Sky

The two-a-days are over for the Cavs as they get back to normal practice sessions here at the Cleveland Clinic Courts.

One thing missing is a camera man...at The Q, a member of the staff would physically shoot the practice drills and scrimmages for coaches to review...now, in the techno world of this facility, there are two remote control cameras above the courts...call them the eyes in the sky...the cameras can be controlled from the expansive video room and then immediately edited, and right on to the laptops of Mike Brown and his staff.

The system is so sophisticated that a play can be immediately called up from practice so Mike can show the guys on a court side monitor for immediate review if necessary.

Wonder if they'll critique the broadcasts that way???? AC just yelled, "they better not!"

P.S. Tribe in 5!! I need it to make up for all those games at the Stadium my dad took me to when the Stankees always beat us up.
