MSU Vs. New Mexico State Lane Violation

Yahoo! Sports NCAAB Tournament Coverage

Take a look at number 33 for NMST. He clearly steps out of his lane slot and onto the box line. Easy call to make. The announcers totally kicked it last night and said that it HAD to be 31 for entering too early. Not even close.

So...do you make that call? It's a rule and should be enforced at any point in the game, IMO. Now, whether or not I have the guts to make that call is another story. I believe I would, especially at that level. I'd definitely make the call at varsity as well...

Anyway...just another example of announcers knowing NOTHING of what they speak of...
