...Jay Bilas is b*tching about every block/charge and obnoxiously sharing all his suggestions about how to make the game "better."

Really? I think Jay Bilas, among many announcers/commentators, actually knows the most about the rules and why officials do what they do.

He used to impress me, but I think he's had too many lunch dates with Gottlieb.

And Jeff Van Gundy should not be doing college games. He clearly has no idea what he is talking about more in college games.

"If you want to say there was body contact..."
Bilas's commentary tonight is why I do not care for him. He's not as smart about rules as he makes himself out to be.

Well, he was right on that comment. The contact up top, which is what he was referring to, was completely clean. If there was a foul on that play, it could only have been with the body.

I didn't see the play, but if there was contact "with the body" (Camron Rust), then wouldn't that be "body contact" (Bilas)?
