The Foul Away from the Play, called against the Atlanta Hawks’ Zaccharie Risacher with the game tied 123-123 and less than 2 seconds remaining, on an inbounds play by the Chicago Bulls has been corrected via the L2M report to show that Chicago’s Coby White fell on his own and not as a result of contact from Risacher.

Hawks still lose 123-126 as a result of the technical free throw made by White and intentional foul on Vucevic given after.

I’ll never understand why L2M exists. “Yea upon further review you in fact did get fucked over but it’s nothing we can do about it”

It’s made to evaluate the refs and decide who gets to ref playoff games. They have a full game report too. Unfortunately, the bar is just really low.

The bar isn’t low lol- it’s just not an easy job and the league keeps nudging the rules in different directions.

As the other guy said, the NBA does a full game report, and will demote and punish refs based off of these(Matt Kalio was demoted down to the gleague a few games after his debut, before working his way back into the NBA). Years ago, people were loudly complaining about the lack of accountability for refs, so the NBA and ref’s union agreed to release the final 2 minutes + OT of their game reports to appease us.

It’s to disincentivize and explain mistakes, not to fix mistakes

Less accountability would bring more mistakes. We have been there before in the donaghy era

Oh so the Bulls are given a flopping technical and Hawks win then? No?

Ok thx NBA.

Any accountability to prevent future mistakes like this? No?

Ok thx NBA.

An apology wouldn’t suffice but it’d be a start instead of basically saying “We fucked up, deal with it”. Yet they want to cry about fans being mean to officials. Those bums deserve it.

“We fucked up, deal with it”

That is the correct response. It is sport. Players miss free throws sometimes. Deal with it.

Players miss free throws sometimes.

how is this relevant to what he said at all? He’s talking about the refs messing up, and not doing anything about it but saying “we messed up, too bad, can’t do anything about it now” instead of just reviewing the play during the game.

Someone needs to post the bogus offensive foul against him where contact is initiated against him and he gets called for the foul when they got tangled up because of it.

So what did the refs see exactly?

pskill43 | Raptors

62 | 7 hours ago

They saw someone fall and just assumed there was a foul. It actually happens a lot during nba games

dwrek24 | Spurs

My pet peeve is when refs guess. Happens a lot in college hoops.

Alarming-Ask4196 | Knicks

Not calling a foul is also guessing. How can they NOT guess if they did not see what happened clearly.

dwrek24 | Spurs

11 | 6 hours ago

No thats not how that works.

Not making a call if you didnt see what happened is not guessing its acknowledging I cant call what I dont know.

If two people are struggling for a gun and someone gets shot and all I saw was the aftermath, the police arent going to encourage me to guess what happened because not guessing is a guess anyway.

Dont call things you didn’t see.

I mean you see Coby fall and the other player move through his space aggressively and fall over, the natural conclusion is that he ran through Coby. I think every ref would call this almost every time given the sequence.

Maybe don’t call a foul every time someone falls down. The league has some of the best athletes in the history of mankind. It seems unlikely they all should be falling over this much.

honestly why are physical refs even a part of modern sports? they make so many mistakes that costs games, then they dawdle on their decisions for minutes on the court. just have cameras set up that see every angle, have a ref down on the floor to communicate what’s happening have 1-3 refs in the video booth that relay 100% accurate info

Wow I was the total opposite. I thought Risacher held on to the jersey and didn’t let go when Coby made his move.

And I gotta say after rewatching it again after seeing this thread….I still think its a foul. Like he’s totally beat and is just holding on to the opposite side of Coby White’s jersey arm hole. Idk I feel like you can very clearly see a significant tug

Historical_Main5261 | Hawks

Coby grabbed Zacchs arm and then fell, pulling down Zacch

x_TDeck_x | Spurs

-8 | 5 hours ago

The part you’re talking about is exactly the part I am too because something slows down Coby. I could see it being a pull by Coby but my read is a Risacher tug because Coby’s chest goes towards Risacher instead of the direction he’s trying to run

Per the L2M Report - Last nights viral game-losing foul by Zaccharie Risacher (ATL) on Coby White (CHI) ruled as White falling on his own.
