yes he did and Green was fouled on the layup attempt on the next possesion as well
what the league is doing is shameful and unprecedented
since the scoring inflation led to all the backlash, they seem to have decided to run a pilot program from the ASB to the end of the season - not calling a few types of fouls that were called regurlaly and without announcing a rule change, a point of emphasis etc
they just blackballed foul calling haha
offensive ratings were breaking records, since the ASB games have been called league wide in a way that not only cratered those offenses and their offensive ratings but also craterd the free throw rates, which hasn't been this low since the 1950's or something
blatant fouls on drives are just being ignored now and I mean - actual fouls that is, fouls that would have been called in any era
All this, and its made the game so much better and exciting. Its been awesome to watch honestly
I love it, the product itself but the way they're doing it is shameful
they basically adopted Fiba rules but it would have been nice for them to say so to the fans and mostly - to the players
you can't call 2/3 of a season one way and then call the final 3rd categorically and substiantly differently
it's very important in sports to keep things on the up and up, the integrity of the game is crucial
as a viewer I prefer this version alot more, no argument from me there
