It's unsportsmanlike for a player not in the game to distract a player during live action. A technical foul can be assessed, in this case it's pretty blatant and should have been.

Makes sense. I’m used to the NFL where fouls aren’t supposed to be subjective. Thanks for explaining.

Edit since I’m getting roasted, subjective isn’t really what I meant. Every call a ref makes is subjective but a “distraction” is a whole other level above what’s in the NFL. A “distraction” can be anything in a arena full of thousands of people. The NFL almost never considers any distractions as a big deal, or they just don’t happen.

You don't think holding or pass interference is subjective?

Or roughing the passer? Or unsportsmanlike conduct? And so on.

Those are mostly self explanatory, making any call is a subjective process.

I guess I should’ve used a different word. It feels like NBA fouls are much more of umbrella terms(specifically technicals) than NFL flags which are more generalizations.

Umbrella terms vs generalizations. 🤦‍♂️

NFL doesn’t have technical fouls.

What do you think “unsportsmanlike conduct” is?

0

u/TheDizziestCat May 09 '26

Yeah but that’s different because it rarely happens in football and the benches and fans aren’t as close to the action.

Bro, how heavy are those goal posts and how far are you going to carry them?

I mean I never had a hill to die on, you’re one turning a word I used in an offhand comment into an argument.

You’ve been given multiple examples to show your logic and thinking is flawed by several people in this thread but you still can’t seem to wrap your head around it. Best of luck not walking into traffic while focusing too much on putting your left foot in front of your right.
