The refs are a joke. Fouls on every play.

The British commentators are talking about how "the giant #17 on the bench is a huge loss" to Rytas.

Refs don't call it everytime. 3 touch fouls is usually just discretion or bias. It's unfortunate and Val should have played wiser, but it could have gone either way.

a player tries to go for offensive board, does not get it and tries to slap the ball from rebounders hands right away

refs call it 99.99% of the time

Hi there, such a thing as loose ball foul rule doesn't even exist in international basketball rule book. It was a weird call to say the least.

Yeah, he is pretty bad. Also pretty bad is this game and ref work in particular. I'm not saying they are biased, I'm saying the way they are calling touches is more handy to Spanish side.

I wouldn't say every foul. Valencia were playing so ultra aggressive early that they were challenging the refs to call every foul and they didn't. The ref's have been calling the majority of fouls but had to let a few slide to have any flow to the game. Rytas finally caught on as the half went on and picked up their aggressiveness to match Valencia and started to get away with a few as well.

it's an automatic foul, been playing amateur ball and getting this called everytime, seen pro players getting called for this everytime. If you don't get the offensive board, go back on defence, do not try to slap the ball from the rebounder :cry:

No its not automatic. Not in international basketball at least thats why those calls look weird. For Rytas unluck is that their most important player got on the receiving end and wasnt able to get into the game.

I would risk if I were djikic and start Jonas again though. Right now Rytas evened up the game flow but they are nowhere close on breaking the tide in their favour.
