ESPN to have all-woman crew for Warriors-Jazz

Beth Mowins made ESPN history in 2017 when she was the first woman to call a Monday Night Football game. She will again be part of a network first when ESPN produces an NBA game announced and directed by women.

Mowins will work the Golden State Warriors-Utah Jazz game with analyst Doris Burke and reporter Lisa Salters on Wednesday (10 p.m. ET, ESPN). In addition, 33 other women will handle production roles on-site in Salt Lake City and in the control room from ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Connecticut.

"I think it's exciting to kind of celebrate," Mowins said. "There are a lot of the women that have been around the league for a while, and then others like me that are kind of new to it."

Mowins said she believes the time is coming when having a game called and produced by a majority crew of women will be routine.

"I think it's important to still celebrate some of these big milestones, but I really do believe we're getting closer to the day where it won't be such a big deal and it will be very natural and very comfortable," Mowins said.

Mowins has been with ESPN since 1994. She has mostly worked on college football, basketball and the Women's College World Series, but she started calling NBA games this season. Burke is one of ESPN's top NBA analysts and has worked the past two NBA Finals on ESPN Radio. Salters will be the lead sideline reporter for ABC's coverage of the NBA Finals.

"To work alongside these women and see the depth of talent we have in a variety of roles on this NBA property is incredibly rewarding," coordinating producer Sara Gaiero said. "Each of these women make regular, valuable contributions to our NBA productions. I am so excited to watch them do what they do best -- document an NBA game at the highest level."
