Working as hired help for the Southland Conference TV crew Saturday at Prather Coliseum:
Myranda Hill, the Lady Demon assistant soccer coach, finally gets to realize a dream. She is paid to tell officials what to do. That's a switch from thinking officials aren't listening to what she might say on the NSU sideline. Myranda will be the time out coordinator Saturday for SLC TV, sitting next to the game clock, letting the officials know when TV is back from a commercial break so the game can continue. In football, that person is called the "red hat" because often he will wear a red hat to be noticed on the sidelines. No such attire needed for Myranda, whose location and broad smile will be easy for the folks with whistles and wearing stripes to see.
Kerwin "Fat Daddy" Forges, the crafty member of the 2005-06 Demons of Destiny NCAA Tournament basketball team, will be right next to the action, too. "Fat" will be the statistics relay for the production truck. He will sit with SLC TV announcers Doug Anderson and Ladarrin McLane, and primarily be reading updated stats off the stat monitor so the graphics director in the production truck outside can input the numbers and get them on screen.
SLC TV producer Jeff Watts and his brother Michael were scurrying around Prather Coliseum all afternoon getting cables and equipment in place.
They'll tape brief pregame interviews with NSU head coaches Jennifer Graf and Mike McConathy Saturday morning. During the doubleheader telecast, you'll see an interview with NSU President Dr. Randy Webb at the Lady Demons' halftime, NSU director of athletics Greg Burke in between games, and Coach Graf at the men's halftime.
Hosting the show between games will be former Shreveport TV sports anchor Darrel Rebouche, whose wife Claire has an NSU nursing degree.
