“While Brunson does land on Dort’s foot, it’s due to the natural drift of the shooter, as opposed to a reckless closeout. This is a foul but not flagrant” – NBA refs annual “Points of Emphasis” includes closeout examples like this; flopping; straight-line pathways; & verticality

Okay 👍
This just reminded me of the point of emphasis they had on “flopping” last season…and it lasted just 1 game….the celtics vs knicks game smh
They should make a point of emphasis to not yank on players legs when they’re jumping for a rebound
