My personal tip to you is to ignore everyone and remain focus on the game and the upcoming camera shots. Also, do not forget to call out all your camera shots on the headsets. If you don’t call out your shots, then the camera people won’t know when they are live. Uninformed and unaware camera people can result in a disaster broadcast.
