Like the free throw violation. I havent seen it called all year long, even though its the correct call. So naturally after it happens, i assume there was some meeting to focus on it, and its called again today. When generally I would think watching travels, holds, etc would be more of a focus. But the point is, dont you generally step when games are physical and say something like "watch the hands"....why not do it on the free throw, you should explain to them, because you shouldnt want them to committ the violation...afterall they are all so uneducated about it. If you dont like people infering differently TELL THEM

Oh boy...first fanboy of the Tournament.
Coaches are paid to coach. Part of that is knowing the rules and coaching your kids.
TV talking heads are paid to announce the game. They includes understanding the game, therefore, the rules.
Officials do practice preventive officiating. Every time I step into the lane, I say, "Wait 'til it hits." Guess what? Basketball players are rocket scientists. They still violate.
