During the 3rd quarter of the meeting between the Hornets and the Warriors, Steve Kerr took a technique last night for complaining about an unpilled walk. A walk so obvious that even fans of the Hornets were of his opinion … Defender of a harmonization of the rules between Basketball FIBA and the NBA, the Coach of Golden State is disappointed by the not whistled walkers in the big league.
“I do not understand why we do not teach our referees to whistle the walkers in this league”,, deplores Steve Kerr. “They do a good job and communicate well, but I see five or six walkers per game which are not reported. »»
And as he does not only aim at his opponents, Steve Kerr specifies that he saw four not whistled walkers with his players. “You know that there is a problem when there are a hundred fans in the stands and all the coaches on the bench who report that there is a walk …”continues Steve Kerr. “If everyone sees it, it is obvious that our league does not teach our referees to look at the supports. »»
A sport based on support
This is not the first time that the Warriors coach has been carried away against the unshined walkers, and he has contacted the NBA several times on the subject.
“This sport is based on support” he concludes. “We need to strengthen violations on the walkers, and we don't do so. And I don't know why … the referees do a great job, and they have a million things to look at. But the supports are the basis of our sport, and we must whistle them. The game would get out of it if we regulated that. »»
