After his big tantrum, Jason Kidd goes to checkout
The question was not whether Jason Kidd should have received a fine, but to know how much it will amount to. in the end, The NBA has decided and is announcing the amount of $35,000, for “publicly criticizing arbitration” and using “foul language” at a press conference.
The sanction that comes after the coach Dallas that’s why he got carried away against bad arbitration decisions, after a narrow defeat of his team in Houston.
« I saw the error! The judges, Sean Wright, Simon Jelks and Jason Goldenberg, were terrible tonight. This is unacceptable. That’s a mistake » he said at his desk. ” At some point there has to be a rewatch of the action. He attacks the circle, gets hit. That’s a mistake. If the situation were reversed, would we blow the whistle? You have to be consistent and tonight the referees were not. »
Jason Kidd then fended off Cooper Flagg, who was penalized by the officiating on the last possession Mavericks against the Rockets.
Appearing very tense at the press conference, “J-Kidd” even had scratched the reporters by wanting to defend this same Cooper Flagg, once again placed in the lead, and we suspect that the penalty falls for that reason as well.
« I don’t care about criticism. Reviews are your opinion. You’re the one writing this shit. I’ve played this sport, I’ve done it at a very high level, and damn I know what I’m doing. (…) I don’t care what you write, because you have never played. I have trained players, I know what I’m doing. Criticism only makes me better. If I didn’t do things right, you wouldn’t be here trying to find fault with my work. That’s all. THANK YOU. »
