The game is much less frustrating if you know the rules. Or at least know if you don't. I watch other sports and realize I don't understand their rules as well as I should. So i assume they are right and don't worry about it.

Indy...got a question for you. So the last play of the video on field goals. It was said the ball has to go through the uprights before touching an opposing player or the ground. I get the ground...but if the opposition touches the ball but it still goes off that player and makes it through the uprights, it isn't good? Just doesn't seem right...if it was just the player, that doesn't feel like a block. I know in the video it was the ground and player...just thinking if it was only the player.

The video said "kicking team player." If the ball is tipped by a defensive player and goes through, it's still good.

Wait. So you’re telling me that when I scream ‘over the back’ until I’m blue in the face at my 10 year-old’s basketball game I’m not providing a public service?

I realized about 10 years ago how completely skewed and misinformed my understanding of basketball rules were due to the incorrect language constantly used to describe fouls by the media and play by play guys of the past.

I don't expect announcers to be rules experts, but they are the #1 reason most fans (and many players and coaches) don't understand the rules correctly. I use over the back and reaching in as examples all the time when showing how fans base their rules knowledge on the wrong sources. That was the biggest thing I learned quickly when I started learning rules. Having rules analysts helps, but many people choose to dismiss those comments as "covering for the officials" if they disagree with the call or use it as evidence the officials must be terrible if they aren't perfect.
