Have you ever gone to a HS bball game and just observed the officials? Having a 'bird's eye view' of the entire court is an advantage. Fans I think get confused,(sometimes an understatement), on incidental contact and advantage/disadvantage. Some contact look like a foul from the stands, but it puts neither team at a disadvantage and so no call is made and good flow to the game continues. Sometimes I stand on the court during a timeout and wonder what it would be like if the fans (and most coaches) would read the rule book just once. Just a thought.
