    I thought he should have stepped out on Williams on his game winning shot. He just was in no mans land while Williams is on the shorter Simons.

    That wasn't a bad call. A bad call is missing a walk or a foul. Missing two guys within 4 feet of you yelling for timeout and then assessing two Ts against a team with a 1-point lead with under 20 seconds left goes way beyond a bad call.

    I've been around a lot of good HS officials who never would allow something like this to happen.

    It's bush. And, again, the ref that didn't allow the timeouts and called the first technical probably should lose his job over this. It actually looks dirty.

    Yes, he was trying to call a timeout at the moment just before Brogdon's dribble hit the floor.

    Haberstat talking about the lack of experience of the two refs who called the technicals, only 8 combined years.

    Guy can put a number to anything!

    No... unless it caused the ball to come loose.

    no, Brogdon picked up his dribble and couldn't resume dribbling unless the ball was knocked out of his hands

    Billups crossed the half court line and grabbed the officials arm. Maybe that's why he got the first technical.

    I don't.

    Ayton has a midrange shot, he can switch and guard on the pick-and-roll 22 feet from the basket and he doesn't foul a ton.

    People can criticize Ayton, but I don't think this is a fair comparison.

    Billups first tech was 100% legit. Refs had to call it.

    Did the Blazers not expect a trap, ahead by 1 point with 25 seconds left in the game?

    They sure weren't ready for it.
