The NBA does have a distinction. Sometimes the announcers get confused.

Announcers are often describing the play, not commenting on rules or calls.

Sometimes they simply comment based on what they think the rule "probably is" or "should be" rather than what the rule actually says. Or they're using the "everyone knows" rule set, passed down in an oral tradition over generations of coaches, players, and parents.
