Hornets get four points for a practice shot after the whistle, a breakdown

We got one of the more bizarre calls you're ever going to see, and some really good lip reading in this breakdown, which is brought to you by DraftKings. Now watch this. Hornets got the ball, going to dish it out, going to put up the three, he's going to miss, and then something happens over there. Let's go watch the replays in slow-mo. So dude on the Hornets just shoves the ball into the dude on the Cavs, hoping that he touches it while he's out of bounds, smashes his fingers, but now his foot's out of bounds, and he's kind of, you know, I can't say 100%, but might be touching it right there while his foot is out of bounds. They're going to show a second angle of this right here, and it looks like right there, he's touching the ball, his foot's on the line. Okay, so the one ref sees that, and he rules it a dead play, out of bounds. Everyone hears the everyone just stops playing. Dude on Charlotte just is going to take a practice shot, and the Cavs players are like, hey, get that practice shot out of here. Don't practice on air time, and they touch him a little and mess with him. So here's a freeze frame of when everything happened. You got the player getting touched as he puts up his little practice shot. Cavaliers having some fun with him. Our ref over here, I believe his name is Brian, I don't know, at number 45. He's pointing out of bounds. All the players just kind of walking around, lollygagging, but this ref, Murat is his name, is watching the play, and he doesn't hear the whistle or know that it's out of bounds, and he's like, hey, that's a technical. You can't touch a player while he's shooting, and per the rules, three. The three counts, because that is the rule if a player touches you who's not on the court while you're shooting, even if you miss the three, it counts. So he goes technical, and three, and they just start screaming and yelling. They can't believe it because they're like, dude, what are you doing? Everybody on the court heard the whistle and knew it was out of bounds. Coach is just going, the play is over. Hey, stay back. The play is over. What? He called out of bounds. He called out of bounds. No, no way. The play was out of bounds. Hey, get back, get back. You called out of bounds, and the ref, he's like, what did you call? Because I called out of bounds. Did you not hear me? He's like, what did you? I think this dude's the crew chief, too. I don't know. I think so, and so he should have authority here. I don't know the ins and outs of NBA reffing, but I feel like he's, and he goes, what do you call? Murat's like, I called that he reached over, and he touched. No, no. Ref, coach is saying, no, not true, but he did reach over and touch him. It was just out of bounds. Other coach kind of licking his lips like, hmm, seems like a good thing for us. So the refs are talking, are you sure he touched him before the whistle? He's like, yeah, it was before your whistle, which I don't even understand the miscommunication they're having. It doesn't make sense. This woman doesn't get it either. Oh, come on. Wrap this up. Hey, but why? He blew the whistle. Come on, Murat. That's bull. Bullshit. Doesn't like it. He's right. I mean, almost, if you pulled the entire stadium, I think they'd say, Murat's wrong. The play was dead. Don't you guys get? So they get their free throw for the technical foul, and he makes it, and now the coach is going to look up, and he's going to realize that they gave him the three points as well on top of the free throw, a four-point swing, and he's going to start freaking out a little more now. He looks up at the scoreboard. He goes, hey, when did the three go in? Why did they get three points? I need someone to explain this to me. When did the three go in? So the ref's going to explain to them, and then they're all just going to scream in his face. He's going to say, reaching over and in while shooting the three after the play. No, it was out of bounds. It was out of bounds. You called the play dead. You called the play dead. It's out of bounds. That possession is over with, and he goes, stop, stop. That's what Murat had. Just straight up, straight up like, hey, shut up. That's what the other guy had. Don't blame this ---- on me, my favorite part. Stop, stop. That's what Murat had. Don't blame it on me. That's ******* bull. I think he's the crew chief, so I think it would get blamed on him, because it's not hard for that dude to tell the other ref, hey, I blew the whistle because it was out of bounds before he took that shot. It seems like such an easy thing to do. Coach can't believe it. He's trying to plead to the third ref now. He's like, that's not right. That's not right, man. That's not right. Meanwhile, this woman loves it. And then the refs after the game, they were asked, why were the Hornets rewarded with three points? And the ref, Brian Forte, the guy here says, it was a miscommunication amongst the crew about the sequence of the play. Upon review of the game, the out of bounds was called prior to the start of the field goal attempt, and the shot should not have counted. Duh, dude, you're the one that blew out of bounds. It was a miscommunication amongst the crew. No, it sounds like you didn't just speak up about what happened. There you go. End of the breakdown. A fun one. A lot of lip reading. A dumb one, because what a bizarre call. Thanks to Giraffe Kings for sponsoring the breakdown. And reminder, if you haven't seen, we have a new channel, The Warehouse Games.
