-He constantly misidentifies plays. There have been times where he has thought a technical foul was called, when it was simply a personal foul. He will confuse blocking fouls with charging calls. I would hope by now, that he would have realized that the referees make certain signals for different kinds of fouls.

You make a great point about him not seeming to understand the ref signals. Either he's not looking for them, or after watching the game this long he still doesn't know what they mean.

He seems to calls plays based on where players are walking, so he'll commonly just say "offensive foul" when it should be 3 seconds or the ball is tipped out of bounds, or sometimes a technical (where people walk behind the free throw line he thinks change of possession).

However, overall, you nailed all the stuff there is not to like about Funk, he just genuinely doesn't seem able to follow the game.

Heinsen is worse in the way that it's painful to listen to someone who's as big a homer as he is. His description of the game and opponents is probably equally as bad as Funk's in that it's so one sided. I'm not sure if his inaccuracy over events that aren't related to being a homer is even in the same galaxy though.
