>>>Doesn't correspond with the rules as listed at NBA.com though. http://www.nba.com/analysis/rules_10.html?nav=ArticleList Sect 19 i. A player who attempts a field goal may not be the first to touch the ball if it fails to touch the backboard, basket ring or another player.
Maybe it was changed for college only or something? I don't follow college
hoops and they do have a bunch of different rules. I don't recall the NBA rule
being change and I'm pretty sure I recall a call against Pierce last year for
doing it.

No. The rule is still the same for College and High School. I could be wrong here, but I think Vince was being sarcastic.
