Yes the NBA does on one hand try educating fans but on the other hand sets themselves back. And the broadcasters certainly can help the NBA more in that manner. It is frustrating (and it happens in college games too) listening to broadcasters explain a rule incorrectly or suppose what the official is calling.
FOX has included the NFL's former VP of Officiating in their broadcasts which certainly is helpful. It could be of benefit if TNT or ESPN or both would do similar. Having a former official explain a controversial call or go over rules explinations would benefit the viewers and the NBA.
The NBA has done things to improve the officiating but there is a gap between perception and reality. The perception will take time to change, but it can be accomplished.
