An assistant coach from the Brooklyn Nets caused a curiosity in the North American basketball professional league NBA.
Assistant David Vanterpool prevented a pass from the hosts by touching the ball during the Nets’ game at the Washington Wizards (119:118) on Wednesday.
The trio of referees didn’t see the situation with almost five and a half minutes to go when Brooklyn was 109:103 and allowed the match to continue. Nets professional Kessler Edwards got the ball and initiated the counterattack.
