TC1 SIG Strasbourg vs VEF Riga UF Basketball Champions League

In the last minute of the game, White 3 secures a defensive rebound and starts the offensive transition. Blue 4 comes close to him and a contact occurs. The referees call a personal foul to Blue 4. Article 37.1.1 An unsportsmanlike foul is a player contact which, in the judgement of a referee is: An unnecessary contact caused by the defensive player in order to stop the progress of the offensive team in transition. Outcome: Incorrect decision from the referees. The illegal contact created by Blue 4 is an unnecessary contact in order to stop the progress of the White team in transition, so an unsportsmanlike foul should have been called. White 3 should have been awarded 2 free throws, followed by a White team throw-in at the throw-in line in their frontcourt and 14 seconds on the shot clock. According to the IRS rule, the following game situation may be reviewed: F.3.3 During any time of the game, whether a personal, unsportsmanlike or disqualifying foul met the criteria for such a foul or shall be upgraded or downgraded or shall be considered as a technical foul.
