The decision by Fox Sports Southeast to move broadcast analyst Stephanie Ready from the booth to the sideline is puzzling to say the least.
Ready has been covering the Charlotte Hornets since the inception of the Bobcats in 2004, becoming one of the most popular figures of the Hornets’ broadcast. Prior to working for Fox Sports, Ready played basketball at Coppin State, then later served as an assistant coach on the men’s basketball team. Following that, she became the first female coach of a men’s professional team, working as an assistant for the now defunct Greensboro Groove of the NBA G-League.
