That's the problem with having NBA guys working NCAA games...that play would be completely legal in a pro game.

And the fans on ESPN.com all think now that the officials screwed that up.

They apply NBA rules to NCAA games...that was why Reggie Miller was going haywire on this play...same with Charles Barkley.

How is this an NBA rule vs NCAA rule issue? The player that ran in from beyond the 3-point line clearly committed the violation. It was totally obvious. The only reason that the commentators were going haywire is because they are completely ignorant on the rules.

Are you trying to say that retired NBA officials aren't smart enough to adapt to NCAA rules? That's completely absurd.

I'm talking about the announcers...Reggie Miller regularly announces NBA games for TNT. Charles Barkely regularly does analysis for NBA games. As such, they apply NBA rules because that's what (they think) they're knowledge (I know I know) about.

It was a clear and obvious violation under NCAA rules...but they (they being the announcers/commentators/analysts) were applying their NBA knowledge which would have made the play legal.

LOL ... I thought you were talking about NBA refs working NCAA games!

I will now excuse myself from the forums!

Still, even the announcers that only do NCAA games are completely idiots when it comes to the rules!!
