Blame CBS for Walton's knowledge
Not saying that Walton is a great analyst, but in this instance he does have a bit of an excuse. His expertise is with the NBA game, where goaltending occurs if the defender hits the ball after it touches the board. Of course, this is not the rule in NCAA or federation. But CBS wanted him for their telecasts, so they should get blamed for that ONE thing he was wrong on.
By the way, whoever has called the perfect ballgame is the person(s) who should be criticizing the announcers. Everyone makes mistakes, and as officials, we don't appreciate it when others make a major issue of our missed calls. I realize here that we are just watching our brothers and sisters' backs who are still working. Just food for thought.
