When y'all say commentators get "rules" wrong, specifically which rules would you say are the commonly misunderstood? I'm not expecting to be a rules expert, but maybe 3-5 of the most common misconceptions by fans/commentators?

I've downloaded both rule books. After my football game tonight I'll be starting my studying and I may be back with some more questions.
Yes, there is a similar training video on the rules. I don't know how to embed it.

RA is only for a secondary defender. Only means it can't be a charge (except in some rare situations). You can have contact without it being a foul.

I'll start with "you must be set to take a charge" and "that's a moving screen"
