TV Commentators
Much is made about how TV commentators help fuel ignorance of rules and officiating in general.

Just heard Clark Kellog use legal guarding position during the UK-Louisville game. Brought a to my face. Maybe there is hope yet.

In relation to the other talking heads, CK is about as rule knowledgeable as they come.

I noted the same comment, however, I think it was in the context of a block/charge, and Clark said, "He wasn't there set in a legal guarding position."

You don't have to be "set" in order to have LGP. For those with a DVR, it is at the 16:55 mark of the first half.

CK is one of my faves. A few years ago, he emphasized on the air, "there is no over the back, it's ON the back." So, yes, there are indeed those that know what they're talking about.

Agreed he's up there; however, keep listening to him.

He's closer, but still wrong.

There's no "ON the back" either.
