Yup, Washington assistant Sidney Lowe was wrong. Even the league said so.
The Wizards assistant should have been assessed a technical foul for coming out on the court close to the Knicks’ Courtney Lee in one of the pivotal moments of Thursday’s game, the league decreed Friday in its daily Last Two Minute report. While the world wondered why Lee didn’t shoot with the Knicks down three, the league’s findings and Lee’s postgame explanation shed some light on the matter.
“A WAS assistant coach stands on the floor close to Lee (NYK) for several seconds and should have been assessed a technical foul,” was the L2M judgment, so the play was deemed an incorrect non-call at :07.
