Event 2018 NBA Finals, Warriors vs Cavaliers.

Hilarious. Coaches are next in line after fans who don't know the rules.

 

You are allowed to move to maintain your legal guarding position. So the fact that he was moving is not relevant.

 

Ok, you're the prettiest

 

Unless he started his shot, which he had

 

You made a horrible decision and missed a great game.

 

Thats what I understand....You being an official, do you like that rule?

 

Well that goes without saying.

I'm just saying that coaching doesn't make you a rules expert. We hold rules clinics to get coaches acclimated to rules and rule changes. We ALWAYS go over the rules that there are huge misconceptions about. Simple rules like 3 in the key and over and back are not known.

 

How are you going to stay squarely in from of someone if you stand still?

Whether or not I like the rule is moot. It's a necessary rule.

 

But because I'm a coach doesn't mean I'm wrong.

 

The refs in the game said he wasn't in a legal guarding position

 

Not sure where that came from, but you're wrong because you're wrong. And the reasoning you gave for calling a blocking foul is flawed.

 

That's not what the ref consultant said as they were deliberating.

He called it a charge. And the original call was just that.

 

Then why did they change it after looking at it?

 

To be fair, The Fonz called a charge, Brothers called a block. So the original call stood or was overruled depending on which ref you were closest to.

 

Nice! I’ve heard good things!

 

Ultimately I thought the call on the floor was a charge and I don’t understand how there was enough “evidence” to over turn it. Now if the official call on the floor was a blocking foul I guess I can understand them keeping the call. It was framed as an overturned call though and that’s what I’d like explained what did they see to overturn it...?

 

I give a little credit to Durant for immediately insisting that they review it....know that they could because he had been victim of an overturn on much the same play.

 

If you see it, call it.
But who's general responsibility do you think lower body contact is?
The outside official, or the baseline official.
Or better yet.
Who do you think has the better angle to see lower body contact? The outside official, or the official along the baseline?
Again, if you see it call it. But officials are taught to look for specific things, given their position on the court.
