why doesnt the nba do something about cameramen a few feet off the court ?

i will never understand with all the new technology in photography why on earth cameramen need to be right under the basket .

back them up about 3 more feet before someone is seriously injured.

they can get just as good a shot from a little farther away..

Because it's the NBA. The more camera angles and flash they can give you means hopefully you will not notice or take your mind off the poor product the sport is now producing.

They gotta be a few feet off court just so guys like Dennis Rodman can kick them in the 'nads....

no doubt..

is their another sport where the ref's just turn their heads at so many violations.

traveling
palming the ball
early in the lane on foul shots

guys coming over the back of someone and if the ball gets knocked out of bounds , all they do is award the ball to the other team.

its not going to take away from the pace of the game to call it properly.

i also want the players to quit giving high 5's inbetween foul shots.
no need to congratulate someone on something my 9 year old daughter can do .. just stay in your spot and get ready to crash the boards before the ball leaves his hand...

for me - my biggest problem is the cheerleaders

when i am on the baseline trying to move to get a better abgle on the play i sometimes have to gingerly step around so i don't run into a c-leader even though i have nicely asked them to move back several times during the game. also - when i am down low and they are far enough back - they start doing their cheers and i am about 2-3 feet from them and my ears hear it all - far better than i wish! and if i have a dime every time i had to move a coach off the sidelines so i could run past w/o fear of running into him i would own the Yankees by now. coaches love to get as close to the sideline as possible - but i need about 2-feet of it so i can run up/down the court - but staying off the playing surface so i stay out of the play and if a ball hits me i am out of bounds so i haven't made any impact on the play.
