For the first three years of Vintage 's coverage , they had the legendary sports commentator Joe Cantada and Pinggoy Pengson as its main anchors with Steve Kattan and Andy Jao as the analysts . Future PBA commissioner Jun Bernardino served as the sideline reporter ( dubbed as the " Man on the Ball " ) . Occasional analysts were also added in the panel , which includes Freddie Webb , Norman Black and Joaqui Trillo . Several innovations were added by Vintage to the PBA coverage compared to their predecessor , including the " Man on the Ball " feature , which acts as a sideline reporter , " Inside Basketball " , which discusses the basketball fundamentals ( hosted by Steve Kattan , then later Norman Black ) , and " Winner 's Profile " , a feature segment about the players during their off-the-court activities . They also changed the delivery of the panelists by bringing out insights from the action in the game with less emphasis on play-by-play . The orientation of the main camera was changed since the 1983 Open Conference , with the team benches moved at the bottom of the screen . This is to accommodate additional advertisement when the main camera pans at the basketball court . Team huddles during timeouts were also included since 1984
