[Lowlight] Scott Foster confuses Jalen Johnson’s shoe colors with OG Anunboy’s and calls out of bounds on OG, who was actually inbound (with a replay)
Literal example of “refs are blind”
I hate Scott Foster but I zoomed in on his face and he was looking at the ball when Jalen’s foot was out then looked down and saw a picture of CP3 on OG’s shoe so I kinda get it.
Then they should fucking look at it again
“OG your toes are pointing the wrong way on that foot there buddy, you gotta get that looked at”
And lazy
I’m blind, I’m deaf, I wanna be a ref!
Blind or a high iq play? He isn’t known as the Extender for nothing
Kind of blows that whole fake narrative up when he makes the call for the team up in the series
Easy mistake for a casual weekend middle school ref to make.
Wait, he’s a professional???
need ai for refs lol
Scott Foster is inept. Always has been. Silver loves him, wonder why?
My GOAT still got it
Why you gotta trigger my ‘18wcf PTSD like that
Y’all see a washed ref
I see a ref who knows how to take advantage of a situation
It’s unbelievable how bad Scott Foster is 😂
I will probably never dislike a ref as much as i do him after Game 4 of the finals last year
With Chris Paul retired, who is Foster going to feud with next? Is it Hali?
While i would love that beef i would not like the in-game result of it 😭
The most rigged game in recent memory. The sad part is, Haliburton probably never gets injured if this game wasn’t rigged, it was probably Pacers in 5.
That’s the game that convinced me to stop watching the NBA. I still come on here for highlights but I went from 80+ games a year to none. Just disgusting and blatant bias by the refs to give OKC the title.
Bad in every sense of the word, except the Michael Jackson sense.
washed
Knicks fan: Washed, should be fired
Hawks fan: GOAT, should get a bonus
All in all funny call
Was there ever a Scott Foster prime?
It’s never a good sign when you know refs by name. Same shit for Tony Brothers.
I hate Tony and all of his Brothers.
Knicks were on a hot streak, Scott had to step in to make it a competitive game
Didn’t really work that well
It kinda failed miserably
Look how close he is. What a joke. The nba has the best cameras and technology in all of sports and stuff like this goes wrong and everyone is expected to move on
Do u want them to stop and review this? People already moan about reviews
Do u want them to stop and review this?
Yes, but the refs on the floor don’t need to do the reviewing. Have an official sitting courtside with the monitor to do a quicker review of it. Saves the time of Foster have to walk all the way across the floor, put on the headphones, and stare blankly at a monitor deciding if he wants to overrule his own call.
Its either that or we continue to let bad mistakes go unpunished. Surely we can have like a VAR thing but its someone in another room that communicates with the officials via microphone
And just for clear mistakes they won’t delay the game too.
I want refs fired for being shit at their job
It doesn’t need to be reviewed in the game, but some of these guys keep getting to ref playoff games when they’re judgment and vision is trash.
They need to track it and punish those refs who can’t call a good game.
Yeah shit like this needs to be reviewed. If you a refs fan step outta here
Have an official on the camera so you don’t have to stop like in the NFL or FIFA
why are you guys so anxious to usher in an AI techno fascist society and replacing human jobs?
ABS in baseball is 100x better than human umpires.
i don’t care. why do you Republicans want to make everything AI?
The human element of sports should be the players, not the officials
officials are part of the game and always have been. they’re also a union job but yall want to destroy another union to replace with AI
Damn. Luke Kornet may or may not be a racist but sure as shit, LukeKornetisRacist is one hundred percent a troll. And a horrible one at that.
Russian MAGAt bot detected, comment disregarded
Oh, damn. How’d you know? They told me I’d get fired if I got caught. Thanks a lot for outing me. Now what am I supposed to do?
Far from a republican (and I also currently work for and am part of a union, in regard to your union-busting comment below), but I prefer my sports to be officiated correctly. If a robot does that better than a 60 year old man, I don’t care.
You can sit here and cape for incorrect calls and impacts on gameplay if you want to. But sports will be better when we stop leaving the rules up to judgment calls by elderly individuals. You must be an aspiring ref or something
bro read his username and see what type of shit he’s typing, you’re literally getting hard ragebaited
As you can see, I stopped responding lol
stop it, AI makes more mistakes than humans. AI literally racially profiles and will punish POC players more than white players
I don’t care. I’m liberal and want ai refs
What in the dumb fuck are you talking about? It doesn’t take AI to get this’s basic stuff correct.
I’m sorry, I know the refs are human but this is inexcusable
If you look at his face the like split second prior to the call this actually makes perfect sense. Bro has made some bad calls but he looks away and then back right when OGs leg went back and it looked like the other shoe continued the motion and it happened so quickly he just triggered. Not to mention his angle just happened to be the worst one he could have funny enough.
yeah this at least you can understand the confusion behind
There’s a reason uniforms exist. It’s more on the NBA for allowing guys on separate teams have the same color shoes
A dull yellow color and a very neon green are the same? You should apply to be an NBA ref if that’s the case.
Wait can refs be colorblind? Because they do look pretty similar to me, but am RG colorblind
You see less color in your peripheral vision. I have actually reffed before and I’m not particularly good at it.
Peripheral ? He was literally looking down, directly at their feet in the clip lmao are we watching the same thing ?
they were watching the video with their peripheral vision
So maybe if you see something in your peripheral and aren’t sure what you saw then don’t blow the whistle?
It’s entirely possible to be confident about what you’ve seen in your periphery and be wrong about it
Then you probably shouldn’t be ref🤷♂️
That last sentence does not surprise anyone here.
I wasn’t completely sure you were joking with the original comment but now I get it. My bad.
CB Bucknor level reffing right there
Don’t disrespect Scott like that
no way the shoes confused him
Shoes definitely confused him, but it’s still dumb cause Johnson has leg sleeves on
Scott is the least racist ref. He doesn’t see color. Only character.
only players named Chris Paul
Idk… highlighter yellow vs mustard yellow are quite distinct
They are, but I can at least see how at game speed you confuse those. Unlike the leggings which is a big fuck up.
Didn’t even think about the leggings.
Just ridiculous reffing this year
Only for people who are used to seeing basketball shoes. Oh wait…
Maybe he needs his readers
they should have leds on player’s shoes that light up when they step out of bounds
How the hell is Scott Foster supposed to shave points in a system like that, huh?
magnetic boots from the prison in Face/Off
When I was a kid I’d yell “Kobe” when throwing a piece of paper in the trash. Now as an adult I yell “Scott Foster” when I fuck something up at work.
yelling “Scott Foster” when you send an email to the wrong person because their names are vaguely similar colors
A wizard ref like foster is never wrong, he fucks up exactly when he means to
He’s too old to be an NBA ref. About old enough to get into politics, though.
found ken klippenstein ^
JUST DO YOUR JOB
To all the people who think refs favor one team or another, the refs are just bad.
shoe glitch unpatched
I’m not one to seriously cry about the referees, but this is egregious.
Couldn’t ask for a better view lol
And Adam Silver won’t do shit about this. Scott Foster needs to be out of this league
Scott Foster may actually be colorblind lol
Which explains a lot.
Like Reggie miller is chuckling about this instead of strongly criticising the officials or the nba. “Hahahaha look at Scott foster the goofball he just mixed up the shoes. Hahahahaha” ts pissed me off
The way he just sprints down the fucking court as if he couldn’t possibly be wrong. What a douchebag.
I’ll never be convinced this fucker isn’t still betting on games.
How does this guy still have a job in the NBA?
Because he knows where the bodies are buried.
Unbearable reffing this year
Hey Scott, do your job.
What the actual fuck man?! This mf should be an example for “incompetent” in the dictionary.
those shoes are not the same color, but more importantly one player has bare dark skin while the other has white leg compression tights on, this is beyond unacceptable there is no resonable way to mistake those legs and shoes. He already looked at both the ball handlers feet and already confirmed he inbounds, then saw a 3rd foot step out of bounds and made this ridiculously wrong call, maybe on purpose. like how does one see that white compression wrapped leg and make this mistake?
What the fuck are we doing here? Like, when do we just stop collectively supporting the shit product the NBA and these refs put out?
good god bro. refs are never beating the blind allegations with this one
People don’t like to hear it, but this is what peak NBA refereeing looks like. Confused, confident, no regrets.
honestly sounds like every email i’ve ever sent at 4:58pm on a friday
The fucking shoes confused him , also Johnson is wearing leg sleeves and OG is not
Highlighter yellow vs Mustard yellow are literally opposite in the color palette
Scott Foster “confused”
Danhausen
Dismantle the ref union and set up fines for incorrect calls. Create another team who monitor every call made on the floor, and get this shit straight. Idc if it has to be done after games, just do it. Inexcusable someone like Foster can leave his mark on a game that has nothing to do with him.
It’s a poor excuse because all players had white sneakers for decades.
How the fuck does Scott Foster have a job
confuses? his bets were on that direction. No confusion here.
I have no idea how Scott Foster made it through the Tim Donaghy scandal.
Maybe he needs to wear eyeglasses next time because he’s confused af with that call.
They’re not even the same color shoes!!!
god please somebody throw pennies at scott foster
Knicks cooking to close the half
man these refs old af and non wearing glasses
SMFH
This whole section of the game was comical. I think two other out of bounds calls could have been successfully challenged.
What the hell was that???
modern day basketball .. hah
Computah, make Scott Foster’s socks be always wet. Make sure both sides of his pillow are uncomfortably warm
Scott Foster isn’t confused he’s cartoonishly evil
Get this man in congress rn
If they were the same color id give him the like tiniest leeway ever, but omg he really is the worst
There should be eye test for all refs. He too old to be doin this job.
He isnt locked in here with us. We are locked in here with him
Mfer is senile
I liked how he just ran away
Dumbfucks in the game thread crying that this blind bum is helping us somehow
This man gotta have Adam Silver’s nudes or something bro.
No fucking way he’s still around after every type of bs that he has pulled.
I’m not even mad this is just hilariously awful
I don’t think cameras, AI, or robots will ever be sufficient for calling fouls, but shit like this? Just make it happen already.
Time for the home grandpa
Scott foster is a terrorist
HAHAHAHAHA what the fuck!!!!
This is like the NBA’s most trusted referee
It’s a feature, not a bug.
Kinda feel like there should be some form of VAR for complete fuck ups like this
What’s the other ref doing? It should have been visible for his POV.
Probably doesn’t want to start a beef with the legend Scott Foster.
THAT’S WHY HE’S THE GOAT!!!! THE GOAT!!!!!
Fine him
brother are you colourblind?
In really time from his angle I can see how he thought he saw it like he saw it.
My obligatory “he needs to retire”
Again, why is anyone supporting this league
FSF
Scott foster time to retire and enjoy great great grandfather time
This makes me wonder if refs have to take a color blindness test
Refs should have X amount of years in the NBA before swapping out or going into a rotation. No reason for them to ref the same players for like 5-10 years. It will build out hatred or have favorites.
It’s Scott Foster. Why is anyone surprised?
CB Bucknor, Scott Foster and Clay Martin are all the same just different leagues
this was one of the worst most obvious “this ref needs to retire” calls I’ve ever seen
Some remind Scott Foster the assignment is to extend the series
