I *may* be able to shoot some. Depends on how things are going. Not from the field though, they're much more up-tight about that than some of our other events. If I'm on TV much, things are usually going very badly. I was on TV for a second during the Women's Final Four when the scoreboard

I can tell you from experience Sylwek, having your own bundle of joy to photograph whenever you want is MUCH MUCH more expensive than any of the current digital SLRs. You could certainly get a Medium Format rig for less as well. Cory Waters has two kids and LOTS of photographs of each. -
