Announceritis
I agree with rainmaker. The annoumcers are on their soapbox proclaiming bad call or should have been this or that. The general public not knowing any better accept these views as rules in fact and this gives the officiating community a black eye. It would be nice if the network would hire an official to voice a rebuttal to the announcers wrong interpretation of the rules. I don't know how many times players and coaches insist they know the rules because they take as gospel the rantings of announcers of ball games.
Thanks I feel better now!
