Panathinaikos: Former Euroleague referee justifies the “voices” of “Trifyllio” (vid)

Former Euroleague referee Todd Warnick analyzed the phases that Panathinaikos is complaining about and agreed with the side of the Greek team.

THE Panathinaikos AKTOR welcomed at OAKA the Maccabi Tel Aviv for Game 1 of her Play Offs Euroleaguein a game where the guests managed to turn the score against them and I got the double with 91-87making it 1-0 in the series.

The “clover”, however, has several complaints from the refereeing of the match, with Ergin Ataman in fact, to present in his statements ahead of Game 2, a video with the points of the game which he analyzed!

Her former referee Euroleague, Todd Warnickhosted at BasketNews and analyzed for his part these phases, justifying him Panathinaikos.

“These are plays that the NBA got rid of a few years ago. Baldwin had no intention of shooting a 3-pointer from mid-court

As we can see in the first phase there is a foul by Antetokounmpo. The referee who has the best angle does not indicate with his whistle that the player is attempting to shoot. The foul is shown by the referee who is in the middle line but sees Antetokounmpo’s back and in fact cannot see the contact and when this contact was made. First this referee shows that the player is trying to shoot, although he does not have a good angle and then as a good member of the team the other referee also shows the foul. But the contact is before Wade finishes his dribble.

In those situations where the player is far enough away from the basket, Wade just smells those phases and what’s going to happen and tries to show that he’s in the process of shooting. After contact he simply throws the ball and the referee gives three shots. Unfortunately not a correct decision for the referees Baldwin is not in the process of shooting when he is fouled. We have to be quite careful in these phases. We must be sure that the player is in the process of shooting as prescribed by the regulations. And the regulations also state that the player must have finished the dribble and it is a jump move. He should have just called Antetokounmpo a foul, which would have meant 2 shots because it was the 5th team foul of the period. We have another phase of the same. Wade smells the foul that… is coming”
