The Big West streamed a 6 hour live preview show on YouTube today with interviews with each of the head coaches and top players for each men's and women's basketball team.

That sounds about 4 hours too long. I can't imagine being interested enough in Big West basketball to devote 6 hours to watching it. I guess just skip ahead to your favorite team. Thanks for locating the timepoints so we don't have to listen to Hawaii if we don't want to.
Yes, I couldn't believe how long it was and I've only listened to the Aggies so far but when you are interviewing 22 head coaches and 22 players, it adds up to a long show!
For a production that big I would have suggested skipping the player interviews. In a summary conference overview like this the coaches can easily handle it. If it were 11separate shows then sure, include the players and enrich the content this way. In the long format it's excessive.
Also, Im of the opinion that player interviews are more valuable during the season, when they can offer insight about the actual games they played in. That is the advantage of interviewing the players.
