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.”
