Gold-Onwude is Rookie of the Year in SF Media - CornFed - 03-27-2015

Love stories about folks who find their bliss and thrive.  Rosalyn Gold-Onwude appears to be a phenomenon doing the courtside interviews for Warriors broadcasts.  I've enjoyed her rapport with the players, who seem to genuinely like and respect her.  I did not realize that my impressions were so broadly shared.  Also interesting to learn that Rosalyn's mother was a freshman roommate of Tara VanDerveer.

I watch a fair number of Warriors games and she is really, really good in this role.  Better than just about everyone on the national broadcasts in fact.  She asks insightful questions, leveraging her own playing experience, and has good rapport with the players.  Based on nothing but the fact that I watch too much sports, I think she is going to be very successful.  It also helps that her competition typically asks something along the lines of "[rambling 45 second generic, cliche-filled statement about the sport], so how did you do it?"
