Sorry cupcake, I disagree.
"I dont expect every announcer to have the rulebook and case studies memorized. Thats for geeks like me. I do expect the NBA to recognize the issue and offer what would be a very simple fix."
There is absolutely no reason in the world why the announcers could not have a working knowledge of the rules and how the game is called. The way they operate now is like a reporter covering politics without knowing whan the presidential elections occur.

Yea, they should know more than they do now, perhaps even as far as a "working knowledge" of the rules, as you say. I thought he was saying that he wouldn't exptect them to know more than the refs, or as much as the very best ref.
