I have heard ONLY one announcer in all the sports I watch who knows the rules. That's Chick Hearn (I love his "faked him into the popcorn machine") of the Lakers. I have yet to hear a baseball announcer who knows the difference between a "foul tip" and "foul ball". Or a football announcer who knows the difference between a "fumble" and a "muff" on a kick.

One of the big problems is that the general public thinks these dummies know the rules. In fact, they they think they know them better than the officials.
