Rage-o-Meter regarding the Pac 12 Networks decision to zoom in on every inopportune moment of every routine. Dear Director's of  Television Gymnastics, here are the rules:

We do not use stick and ball sports analogies to explain artistic gymnastics.
Never, ever, zoom in during a routine, ever. That's what secondary camera playbacks are for.
We do not zoom in between the hip bones and thighs, ever. If that accidentally happens, the director will immediately switch to a different camera.
