As if we need a reason to be annoyed by Jay Bilas.... Several years ago in the tournament there was defensive pressure in the last few seconds of a game, (I don't remember the teams) a bump caused the dribbler to step out of bounds, and a foul was called, which led to game winning free throws. Bilas made a big deal of it and said the contact and the OOB should have all been ignored. The other announcer double checked. "You're saying the official should ignore this whole sequence?"

Bilas: "The good ones would."

I don't object to Bilas as much as some here, but this one really got to me. But the other part is that I assume Bilas isn't the only one who feels this way.

So, enlighten me. Is there anyone here, who ever, for any reason, would deliberately ignore a dribbler stepping on the sideline?
