Coaches: Remember that this is a “straight path foul.” If the defender is not legal when the ball handler starts his drive, ball handler is allowed a straight path to the basket. (We’re all getting used to this.) Good officiating by Brooks Wells here.

For NBA Referees, the most important rule of the craft is simple: hard work is non-negotiable. Whether it’s your first year or your 31st, the craft requires constant effort to reach your full potential. 31-year 31-year Referee, Scott Foster, credits legendary NBA Referee Joey Crawford for instilling this mindset—his relentless drive to avoid failure set the tone for everyone around him, long before the days of social media scrutiny. The game evolves, rules change, but the commitment to improvement stays the same. 📺 NBA fans will not want to miss this series, NBA Referee Roundtable: 30 Years of NBA History.

Tony Dungy, the Hall of Fame NFL coach who spoke at the March for Life rally yesterday is being attacked by left wing extremists over his pro-life Christian views. Dungy has 3 biological children and 8 adopted children. Retweet to show your support to this great man!
