Whatever happened to the cable show where Ronnie Nunn used to give rule interpretations for different plays from the week?
You did not start an argument. I made a joke and some people do not know how to take a joke unless they are making the joke themselves. Give it time and you will see someone will make a FIBA joke in the FIBA Championship thread.

Just my humble opinion though, they're like noses, everyone has one.

Also I disagree with this. If you watch the NBA, there are a lot of things when it comes to contact and violations that are not shared at the NCAA level. And if they do something totally different or have a different philosophy, you will get yourself into trouble trying to translate that to other levels. Notice how I did not even say the WNBA in that point of view? The NBA is seen as entertainment by many and not pure basketball.
