FIBA announced that they’re searching for a fresh new female commentator who will get the chance to go through training and travel to (and comment at) FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup 2022 in Sydney, Australia.
Per FIBA Basketball:
You may be among the millions of women who fell in love with basketball while watching the sport on television or listening to games on the radio.
If the players captured your imagination with their mesmerizing passes and buzzer-beating shots, to their audacious slam dunks and their game-saving blocks, the play-by-play commentators ramped up the excitement.
“Taurasi for threeeeeeeeeeeeeee … GOOD!”
Or maybe you heard, “Petrovic with a dagger!” or “Machida drives, scores and she’s fouled!”
FIBA knows there’s a female commentator out there that has yet to be discovered. We’re setting out to find that diamond in the rough, someone that will become a part of the commentating crew at international basketball events.
