I was watching Mich.St vs. ILL. without caring who won when Dick Enberg and Clark Kellogg made me want to scream.First they reran a split second last second three pointer about ten times in slo-mo from the end of the first half throughout the second half.They kept showing it talking about the officials blowing the call insinuating the officials were deciding the game for M.S.The call was so close in fast time you could get a different call everytime from different refs.Then they had a perfect example of a O. player running over a D. just after he made a shot.D had position and the official came right out pointing the other way.Clark and Dick admitted by rule it was a offensive foul but should have been let it go because the defender was too far under the basket.They stated the N.B.A. circle is better rule so the official should have let this one go!This was a big call at the end so I give credit to that official for making that correct call on the road.

I know it's open season on announcers here but let's be fair. Kellogg admitted it was a good call. He said he like to see the rule changed (use the semicircle) but that the way the rule is written it was a good call. Enberg wanted the official to ignore the rule, but Kellogg didn't, he just put his opinion out there that he doesn't like it.
