The NBA can afford to have that coverage area. The rules are different and the style of play is different. The officials at the NBA are trained and work hundreds of games to get their system. I think even the best college officials are not all working for the same conference or have the same level of training. I even watch the NCAA Women's tournament and you see some basic mistakes which I partly attribute to the coverage areas. You get a play on the perimeter and the ball goes to the lane and no one blows the whistle. I do not like the coverage area at the very least for Boy's basketball. The post players in the Boys game tend to be very physical and I think taking away the Lead from watching those players is not the best way to go. Once again, this is just one man's opinion.
