Re: Referees and the rules

This one everyone sees the way they WANT to see it, and there's almost no such thing as a charging/blocking foul call that doesn't draw a complaint from someone.It would help greatly if the NBA would come up with some definitions here that most of us could understand.
There is a clear and concise definition. The problem is that the announcers repeatedly mis-represent the rules. The refs get it right, the announcers confuse the issue by giving incorrect explantions.
