Just because a ref missed a call that they have to overturn with a challenge doesn't mean the coach gets a free pass. Seems like folks actually believe he should be allowed to behave tech worthy without the tech.

Folks have either asked me, or are just basically confused by, what legal guarding position is. Sports Fans, allow me to present to you LEGAL GUARDING POSITION By Sam Merrill

Cavs double perfectly to get the ball out of Brunson's hands. Great! But how could both leave him??

Devin Booker started in the left corner, unlike everyone else. The cheat code is that it allows him to have the initial rack on his right side. That means the right corner rack is also on his right side. And it led to a 30 point round. How did the others not know this??

Notice how Dame's index finger comes off of the ball as he gets to set point before wrist flexes into release.

Reaves gets animated while trying to make a point to the ref after the game ended. The rule: At the end of each game, the coach & his players are to leave the court & go directly to their dressing room, w/o pause or delay. There is to be absolutely no talking to game officials

I don't think what Edwards did here was okay. You really can't two-hand shove a guy in the back as he's getting into the air, it's simply dangerous. And it was weird that he'd argue the call.

As a former energetic (really good) defender, I'd be very frustrated at this veer step into me that we see Brunson utilize. But the rules are clear it's certainly not an offensive foul when the defender isn't directly in the path and square to the driver.

Clear foot to foot contact. The feet naturally sway forward on a jump shot from that far

Wade is correct: Kennard has his hands in the cookie jar. There was definitely no clamp attempt as SGA gathers with Kennard's arm obviously committing the foul. Right? RIGHT?!

Another Achilles tear, this time from a common move that running backs make. This type of movement pattern with a straight leg, foot plant too far behind, and fully loaded, is the pattern we see on almost all of these injuries

another angle of JJ very upset. U can hear him angrily call TO only 16secs into the 2Q to yank Vanderbilt. FWIW, it appeared that he ran the play correctly, setting a pin down for Bronny cutting to corner. Calling time out like this seems to be intended to embarrass Vando

For you gather-step-haters: This Maryland game-winner is a travel by the rulebook. He gathers the ball with his right foot down (pivot foot), then lifts it and puts it back down—travel. BUT this happens so often on drives, no one bats an eye.

Could be an argument for a push off, but you could also say it doesn't really have an effect on the defender, the legal screen had more.

Donovan Mitchell understands it now. The cheat code for off the dribble 3s is allowing the ball to float and then dip it as you gather it, turning a pull up into a catch and shoot.

We got a Pinoy step from Podziemski, and I guess it looked "funny" and triggered a travel call, but it's a terrible call, as he gathers on left foot, then his legal two steps. Hard to imagine

Leave it to LaMelo Ball to break the NBA rulebook - where his delayed layup, which looked totally illegal, isn't actually covered by the rules at all... making it, dare I say, LEGAL?!?! You've gotta watch the whole breakdown, link below

This is insane. Most of the ball is thru the rim, hand is still on ball. If he's touching it, it doesn't count

Absolutely fascinating. Derek Fisher and Notre Dame's coach started getting into it in the middle of the game. And a woman (Fisher's wife?) in the stands behind the bench started getting upset and they just ejected her from the gym

NEW footage of the Tony Brothers/Chris Finch confrontation completely changes everything. First clip: Finch is clearly the aggressor, screaming at Brothers AFTER Brothers had already granted the timeout. Second clip is the key. At 5:12, Finch starts signaling for timeout but Minnesota DOESN’T have possession yet. The ball is loose at midcourt. By rule, refs cannot grant timeout there. So the 3 secs Finch is yelling about wanting back is ridiculous. The instant Randle regains possession, Finch signals again and Brothers grants it almost immediately. And here’s the kicker: Brothers actually did Finch a favor and WAITED an extra beat so the Wolves could inbound in the frontcourt instead of dealing with a new 8-second count in the backcourt. So Finch had no legitimate reason to be furious that the timeout wasn’t granted earlier. Add this to his completely incorrect “Wemby had four goaltends” claim after he rewatched the tape, and you start wondering how well he actually knows the rulebook he keeps arguing about.

LeBron with another hop travel on his spin move. You’re simply not allowed to gather the ball (end the dribble with both hands on it) with a foot on the floor and then hop on that same foot. The fans behind the bench clearly follow this account

We know that most of the great shooters follow the ball with their eyes usually right after release. Here's Josh Hart (decidedly not among the great shooters) looking at the ball BEFORE release on a perfect swish

There's a correlation between calf strains and Achilles tears, as we saw with KD in the finals. Less strength in calf, more stress on Achilles. Foot plant way too far behind him and straight leg foot plant. Luckily, players can come back from this

These are the kind of reckless dives that result from coaching to "get on the floor for everything." We need to update this foolish strategy with some rules. One should be: NEVER dive if an opponent's legs are between you and the ball.

I bet u didn't notice that Jokic tried to rub some sweat on the ball to make it slippery before OKC inbounded it at the end of the game. Credit Caruso for figuring it out. I've got a titanic double breakdown on NYK BOS & DEN OKC coming up at halftime... Promise you'll watch!🙏🏀

Some confusion about the Pritchard 3. Refs got it right: gather on the right foot, then a simple left-right into the jump. Legal in the NBA and FIBA

Here's the Dame non contact injury. It's important as an athlete to train your feet to not step this far behind you with this much load as you expose the calf muscle, and more importantly, the Achilles tendon to unnecessarily high forces.

Suns fans should be livid. In order for a time out to be called,the Lakers needed to have possession of the ball. It is clearly not controlled by Reaves as the ball is already free by the time LeBron is turning to the ref with the time out signal. This would’ve tied the game
