Rulebook according to CBS

(1) Only Criterion for intentional foul - was the defender playing for the ball?

(2) Off-ball foul? What's an off-ball foul?

(3) The thirty second sub rule - (paraphrase here) scorer summons the teams back out with the horn whenever he feels like it.

(4)a. No BI, just call everything goaltending.
b. You can have goaltending on the upward flight (something about the backboard - are they right on this, or is it an NBA rule?)

(5) Delays due to clock mishaps and subs - bad. Delays due to media timeouts - good.

(6) In order to be certified as an announcer, the candidate must score below 25% on the rules test - he/she will have five tries.

(7) The cameraman always has better position than the on-court official, so he/she shall be provided with a whistle to blow as he/she sees fit.

(8) Travelling = funny steps with the feet (like a foul, this differs every time down the court).

(9) Clock errors should not be corrected.

(10) Officials shall get into physical altercations with coaches whenever possible - no, wait, that's the FOX rulebook.

Sad thing - most of these came from just one game - Ill/AZ.
