If you are new to sports talk radio or if you are a novice to organizational structure, I thought it would be pretty cool to present talk shows in a basketball format.
In the game of basketball, the Back Court consist of the Point and Shooting Guard. They are commonly referred as the 1 (Point Guard) and 2 (Shooting Guard).
You can use this same structure with most radio shows.
THE BENCH
John Granato and Lance Zierlein: John is clearly the point and Lance is the shooting guard.
MAD RADIO
Seth Payne and Mike Meltser: Mike is the point and Seth is the shooting guard
IN THE LOOP
Cody Stoots and John Lopez: Cody is the point and John is the shooting guard
BLITZ
Fred Faour and AJ Hoffman: Fred is the point and AJ is the shooting guard
IN THE TRENCHES
ND Kalu and Greg Koch: ND is the point and Greg is the shooting guard
USUAL SUSPECTS
Barry Lamineck and Joel Blank: Joel is the point and Barry is the shooting guard.
Above are your clear cut shows were the 1 and 2 are easily identified. However, it gets a tad more interesting with.
TRIPLE THREAT
Sean Pendergast, Ted Johnson, Rich Lord:
First thing first, Ted is clearly the 2. Rich appears to be the 2 in this structure but I've seen him in the past play 1 with Josh Innes. Clearly, Sean is the 1. As Rich seasoned over the years, it appears he's morphed into more of a 2 role but can easily maneuver back in the 1 role.
RAHEEL AND DEL
Raheel Ramzanalli and Del Olaleye: This is probably one of the hardest ones to figure because both deliver as a 1 and a 2. Let me explain in another way, as summer approach and media begin to take vacation, most shows will lose some pop losing their 1 (set up guy), this may be the only show where losing either guy wouldn't feel any different.
THE BOTTOM LINE
Adam Clanton, Jayson Braddock and Sean Jones: this is a unique pairing because it's the only show with a defined 1 in Adam Clanton and two 2s in Jayson Braddock and Sean Jones.
NATE AND CRATE
Patrick Creighton and Nate Griffin: They are very similar to Raheel and Del. Both guys are completely able to play 1 or the 2
Of course this is a fluff piece; just me trying to give the fans a way if viewing shows. In all honesty, when a new show come on line, I spend the first few weeks or months trying to establish the 1 and 2.
Something else you will notice about most of these pairing, they are Old and Young. Old and Young may be subjective but most shows seem to have an age gap.
