Monty Williams calls out the officiating after a close 113-111 loss to the Knicks. #DetroitBasketball
Detroit Pistons coach Monty Williams was seemingly upset with the referee's decision in the match against the New York Knicks.
That statement was a rather interesting one, especially considering how the NBA’s last two-minute report stated that the errors made by the officials benefitted the Pistons.
“The absolute worst call of the season,” he said. “No call. And enough’s enough. We’ve done it the right way. We’ve called the league. We’ve sent in clips. We’re sick of hearing the same stuff over and over again.
“We had a chance to win the game, and the guy dove into Ausar’s legs and there was a no-call. That’s an abomination. You cannot miss that in an NBA game, period. And I’m tired of talking about it. I’m tired of our guys asking me, ‘What more can we do, Coach?’ That situation is Exhibit A to what we’ve been dealing with all season long, and enough’s enough.
“You cannot dive into a guy’s legs in a big-time game like that and there be a no-call. It’s ridiculous, and we’re tired of it. We just want a fair game called, period. And I got nothing else to say. We want a fair game, and that was not fair. I’m done.”
