We’re Jim and Eric, and we both live in the Indianapolis metropolitan area of the United States. We work in full-time jobs that keep roofs over our heads, and we both love sports — especially minor league sports. Together, our genuine excitement, humor and chemistry have resulted in some rather entertaining broadcasts, we’ve been told many times.
We believe that fans want to be entertained watching sporting events while also understanding what’s going on during the contest at any given time. We know that athletes want video evidence of their performances. We also know that minor league teams and small businesses and organizations aren’t exactly rolling in cash.
So here we are.
Whether you want us to help you out once or long-term, we can likely work something out without destroying your budget. And your team or organization will gain valuable exposure to help build your fanbase — and make you money! — over time.
We may be Minotaurs, but we’re no bull and no pressure when talking services, prices, quality, and our desire for you to succeed within your budget, so holler at us to see what we can do for you!
Things We Will Not Do
When we live stream an athletic competition, we have some things that we will not do during a broadcast:
- We will not curse. We want kids to be able to enjoy the game, too.
- We will not share sensitive injury or strategy information about either team. We may say that an athlete is “banged up,” but we will not say that s/he has a torn calf muscle that requires surgery and is lost for the season (unless that athlete and team say it’s okay to report).
- We will not disparage any team, despite one absolutely false accusation of that in the past. We work hard to make our broadcasts enjoyable for fans of both teams, no matter who hires us. No one likes to watch a one-sided, biased game broadcast.
- We will not hold the camera on a significantly injured athlete, nor will we show replays of any significant injury. Nothing is gained by watching an athlete writhe in pain or a joint bend the opposite way that it’s supposed to, and that athlete deserves as much dignity and privacy as we can give them.
Jim

Jim played tennis, baseball, football, hockey, and basketball back when he wasn’t ancient. He studied Computer Science in college and has been quite fluent in technology ever since.
He’s very familiar with basketball and provides a lot of knowledge to his American Basketball Association (ABA) broadcasts with Eric.
Jim was the color commentator for the Indiana Lyons of the ABA during the 2023-24 season and did the same for the ABA Central Region Red Division playoffs and the ABA Central Region playoffs that year. He joined Eric again in the 2024-25 season to call Lyons games, an ABA Central Region Red Division semifinal, and the division championship game.
He is also responsible for the technology that makes the videos and live streams possible.

Eric

Eric played football, baseball, softball, volleyball, and ran track way back when he’d ride his triceratops to school. Nowadays, he’s a huge hockey and minor league basketball fan.
He served as Director of Communications for the Indiana Lyons of the ABA for four years, handling their website, social media and other communications. What began as impromptu excited and sometimes funny outbursts by Eric while doing otherwise-uncalled Facebook Live game videos quickly turned into him serving as the play-by-play commentator for the Lyons for four years.
He also called the 2023 ABA Midwest Region Final Four, the 2024 ABA Central Region Red Division playoffs (with Jim), the 2024 ABA Central Region playoffs (with Jim), a 2025 ABA Central Region Red Division Semifinal Game in the playoffs (with Jim), and the 2025 ABA Central Region Red Division Championship Game (with Jim).
He’s been building websites since 2010, and his graphics for the Lyons were often used by the ABA throughout the 2022-23 ABA Final Eight tournament on social media and at the gym where the tourney was played.
