Kayte C needs to be replaced

I cannot listen to the broadcasts because Kayte just talk endlessly and will not stop her long stories. She talks over the play by play and it clear it annoys mark and Kyle. You can tell Kyle just says “uh huh” and “yah” and “k” just waiting for her to stop. I think either Deuce or Mo would be a great replacement. Honestly it’s nice to move on to something different sometimes. Not everyone should have a long term career like the G-man, but I fear they will just let Kayte stay because it’s what we have done, not what’s best.
 
I agree with the long-winded, off-topic, irrelevant portions of Kayte's commentary. Also in agreement with the disruptions of the game circumstance and play-by-play coverage. Additionally, her game-to-game commentary is certainly repetitive.

However, she is an experienced professional basketball player that often shares insights into the game and strategies that might otherwise be missed by the casual viewer. But there are other color commentators on other broadcasts that are far worse regardless of their credentials.
 
Great sideline reporter, absolutely awful color commentator.

She talked through 4 straight possessions yesterday without even allowing any play by play. Usually I just tune her out because she never shuts the hell up. Now she's trying to play the self deprecating "I'm old" role that Jerry used to play and it's just annoying. She's mid 40s, not 70+. No one is buying that she is falling apart and we certainly don't want to hear her talk about it multiple times per game. Especially when she has none of the charm that Jerry has.

I think we all know exactly why Kayte is going to stay in that role for a long time and it has nothing to do with her commentary skills. What sucks is she would not be talking like she does if Grant was still around. He would have trained her up in a hurry like he did with Doug.

IMO, her “insights” are often wrong and filled with cliches and meaningless comments. She also has a horrible basketball IQ in terms of figuring out what is going on during controversial calls, challenges, etc. Often times it take her like a full minute and 5 different angles of a replay to finally understand what happened, when anybody with a decent feel for the game knew exactly what happened right away.

Of true at all her insights are apparent to a cau basketball fan. Listens to deuce and Mo lost came they go over actual basketball plays and sets. They show were breakdowns and successes occur. That should be 100% what the color analyst does. I’m not interested in how Russ was with his daughters before the game or how Derozan is the master of the midrange for the 1000th time. I’d rather be about the actual game.

They constantly get calls wrong. Its not that difficult to look at the offical making the 2 or 3 pt call (arms up or down). Dont look at their feet and the line.
 
Yes.

Not to pile on, but she’s just simply not good in this role.

Basically she still does sideline style storytelling commentary but does it throughout the whole game, instead of just a handful of times per game coming out of timeouts.

In game story telling is for the play by play guys. Like Mark manages to tell the whole “teams have a cash cup in the locker room and players have to put in a dollar every time they bite on a Deebo pump fake” story usually very quickly within the shot clock.

Long analysis needs to be reserved for stoppages in play, replays, free throws, etc. Other than that most good color commentators can add their lines before a team enters their offensive set.

Mark does a better job commanding the booth but Kyle often has a hard time working with Kayte and seems most of his calls have to come in interruption of a Kayte soliloquy
 
I certainly don’t enjoy her in this role. Liked her as a sideline reporter. Liked her on the morning drive show with Carmicheal Dave. Not my cup of tea

I agree wholeheartedly, I think Morgan would be good in her role or maybe even Deuce. If not one of them get another former King or former coach in that role. Kayte can be sideline reporter again
