Why is it that fans/coaches/players (and the official that called the carry) don't know the rules?
Is our enforcement that inconsistent? Is it poor sports announcers?
At the higher levels of basketball there is obviously selective enforcement of block/charge, fouls on the shooter, violations, etc. Absolutely, the player's abilities are much greater than at a high school game but the stuff (knockabout contact, dribbling violations, traveling) that is let go in a D1 college game would be atrocious/heinous in a HS game. Is this latitude for more capable players what causes the misunderstanding for the general observer?
It was a terrible carry call: blow the whistle, give an exagerated signal, turn your head and never look back... cause you just screwed the pooch.
