I quit watching the NBA when it became a one-on-one contest. If it's changed again, good, but I still don't watch. I prefer the college game.

The National Football League has no similar issues that make it worse than the college game, IMO.

Right. The NFL's issues are different.

Thank you, something I must have picked up from my years on this forum. I'll pass the good words on to my mentors.

Are officials in the NFL allowed to throw a flag if the announcers or sideline reporters use incorrect terminology?

What they would do in the NBA, I don't know.

I do, They would wave off the basket and award the FTs.

This exact situation happened with Lebron Jones last week. Lebron couldn't understand why they waved off the basket and the Orlando players couldn't understand why he was shooting FTs.

Straight from Bob Delaney's mouth, "He traveled after he was fouled."

officials usually don't hear any of the commentators or reporters. also, it wouldn't be up to the officials. it would probably be ignored anyways, but if they did it a few times, they might get a call or letter saying try not to abbreviate it. i don't make the rules, i just notice them.

ya, that's what i thought, because think about it, you would have an unfair advantage on the continuation. the entire point of a foul is that you were unfairly given a disadvantage. some players would probably rather get fouled if it meant they could travel on the continuation, in place of shooting free throws. i guarantee you shaq and ben wallace would.
