Let me give you the prime example, the block charge rule and the restricted area around the basket. For some reason, Hubie and pretty much everyone else thinks that if a defensive player is inside the circle near the basket, that no matter what happens, if there is contact, its a block - a foul on the defender. Wrongo cupcake.
2. UNLESS, and this is a very important exception that NO ANNOUNCER or media person, and most coaches and players dont seem to understand:
From NBA.Com - EXCEPTION: Any player may be legally positioned within the restricted area if the offensive player receives the ball within the Lower Defensive Box.0
