I think the announcers should say who they bet on prior to Vegas closing the window. THAT would clear up a lot.

Hehe that'd make for some interesting reading, wouldn't it?

I'm still a fan of the Flagrant 1 vs. Flagrant 2 debates that have been occurring all afternoon.

Believe it or not, many years ago (actually, there should be about 100 "manys") I broadcast HS basketball (and even a few small college games) on a local radio station back in Illinois (Aurora). Although I don't remember too much about it, (at my age, I have trouble remembering what happened before lunch) I know I got some very nice comments from listeners and especially from a guy who identified himself as an official. He said I actually gave the proper names to the fouls I described and that was rare in those days. I think most of my "accuracy" was because the guy I worked with on the air was a former official who had retired. I wish I would have stuck with it. Maybe if I had, I'd be as famous as Bent Hamburger.

In the Indiana - NM St game a NM St player drives and does a 'funny looking' move per the announcer and is fouled. 8 min or so left in the 1H
No travel was the correct call...what was even more shocking was this explanation by the announcer and I paraphrase "Now lets see here...well he does a jump stop and lands with one foot. Now that foot is the pivot foot and you can move the pivot foot provided you are passing or shooting." For an announcer I gotta give him some credit for knowing the rule even if the explanation is a bit clumsy (didn't care for the whole 'move pivot foot' phrase), but gotta give them credit when they get something more right than wrong.... |

He said "I think that's no harm no foul" as the slow-mo showed Canaan falling to the ground, unable to defend his guy. LOL |
