Pool Report on the Final Play of the Atlanta at Minnesota Game

The Pool Report interview was conducted by Jon Krawczynski (The Athletic) with Crew Chief Ben Taylor following tonight’s Hawks and Timberwolves Game.

QUESTION:  Why was there not a foul called on Saddiq Bey’s last shot on the last possession?

TAYLOR: On post-game review we see it.  It appears that Prince moves back into Bey’s space, and we should have assessed a foul on the play.

QUESTION: And for clarification, was that a landing space or was he making contact?

TAYLOR: Looks like from one of the angles that we have, that he backs on the rebounding action as the ball is coming down, and he is moving backwards into him and delivers a little bit of contact there.

They’re saying this was a foul on Prince? Bey has his arms fully extended pushing Prince and then falls backwards when he disengages to attempt a putback. pic.twitter.com/N9xwY8sMBr
