I would like to add, that I believe that commentators/broadcasters should take a more responsible role in their broadcasts. When they spew their rhetoric all over the air, without any responsibility at all, they damage the game. Many kids, as well as fans and even some coaches, only know the rules based on what they hear on the T.V. If I hear another announcer call for an over the back foul, or a travel violation on a designated spot throw-in, I think I would pull my hair out, had I not already shaven it all off. I think it would help the games at all levels if we monitored what these self proclaimed experts say, and maybe give some type of disclaimer each time they step on it. I am not trying to curb their opinions, but, I don't think anything they say should be accepted as fact, especially, when most of the time they are so obviously wrong. JMHO.
