That's because fans are more ignorant of all the basketball rules than they are of other sports.

LOLOLOLOL, this happened in a game today. 8th grade tournament with teams in town from 8 states so it's a very good level of competition.
Team A is in their backcourt and team B has their full court press on. I'm giving a visual count and counting 3, 4, 5, 6 and this woman starts screaming; 5 seconds ref, 5 seconds ref, don't you know what a 5 seconds call is? I started laughing, spit my whistle out and forgot where my count was. Then I overheard a couple of parents trying to explain that they get 10 seconds to cross mid court and she started yelling at them to. She was a hand full, and quite entertaining to say the least.

Living proof that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. And most fans have exactly that--little knowledge!
