"The problem is that the announcers repeatedly mis-represent the rules."
Most of the time. Have you noticed how Van Gundy
(who it seems is about to become a head coach again)
has been kissing official butt? Marv and the Czar
grin every (about 10-15 times per game) time he sez:
"Yadayada is one of the FINEST
officials in the NBA! GREAT CALL!"

I... but a more serious matter, IMHO, is the disconnect between the fans, the refs and the league as to just what constitues a foul. The charging/blocking foul is a major example of this disconnect. This one everyone sees the way they WANT to see it, and there's almost no such thing as a charging/blocking foul call that doesn't draw a complaint from someone.It would help greatly if the NBA would come up with some definitions here that most of us could understand.

There is a clear and concise definition. The problem is that the announcers repeatedly mis-represent the rules. The refs get it right, the announcers confuse the issue by giving incorrect explantions.
