That's just the point HogFan. Although J.Rut doesn't use very much tact, he's correct that 99% of the fans don't know the intricacies of the rules. That includes a majority portion who think that they do. They gain their rules knowledge from playing the game, wathcing on TV and they learn from a coach. I hate to tells you this but none of those ways are very quality ways to gain a rule education.
Why? Players know how to play but they don't know the rules. TV announcers don't know Bo Didley, much less the rules. Coaches know strategy, not rules.
I'm sorry but it's that simple.
