Charles Barkley didn’t make this Selection Sunday show any better with this technology mishap.
CBS decided to turn the Selection Sunday show into a two-hour event. This is unlike past years when the show was only one hour and pretty much got down to the point in no time.
The new format has two panels of analysts with one table being three of TNT’s Inside the NBA crew. One of them in Charles Barkley who has been part of the coverage for the NCAA tournament for the past few years.
The former NBA star has been criticized over the years for his knowledge of college basketball, though. Fans have felt he doesn’t watch enough games and provides little to no analysis in his commentary.
Well, during the broadcast of Selection Sunday, Sir Charles didn’t help the show run smoothly, but it wasn’t due to knowledge of college basketball. He tried working a touch screen for one of the regional brackets and failed miserably.

It didn’t help the broadcast which was dragging a bit. People love Barkley, though, so he usually gets a pass with these kind of antics, especially on Inside the NBA.
The rest of the tournament is continuing to be filled out and should make for an interesting next few weeks of games.
