ESPN idiots Tim Legler and Greg Anthony are explaining on SportsCenter how the throw-in was a BC violation that should have been called. Idiots.

how wasn't it a backcourt violation? not saying i don't believe you, I think it wasn't a violation, but where does it clearly state it in the rulebook? I really want to know to shutup annoying Dallas fans .

Geeze, didn't you read the start of this thread?

Go back to the first page about 8:30am this morning. Not only was the NBA rule cited, it was spelled out by Chuck Elias at 9:02am. It's NBA rule VIg. Couldn't be clearer.

Lah me.....
