I'd actually like to see such announcer clinics for NCAA broadcasters, too, but that would be more difficult to enforce. You would think the NBA could take a little more control of that.

The NBA does give out rules clinics/tests to announcers...every now and then you'll see an article written about this before the NBA season starts. This is also where most announcers are going to hear about the league's POE's and rule changes for the year. But I mean it doesn't matter to the networks if announcers fail...it's whatever.
And no professional league is going to get involved with a network's announcers on things such as rules knowledge..especially not on the local level (as was in this case).
