A/V will have to continue to be contracted for a least the near future, and with that people who aren't as knowledgeable about the game will be working the cameras.

For other "minor" sports its quite common to bring in sport experts (I know the Olympics track & field spotter, and I've worked on other track & field broadcasts) to assist in running the telecast alongside the professional crew. FIRST just needs to anticipate that situation and assign the right personnel. The webcast quality will increase immensely almost instantaneously.
