ESPN’s P.J. Carlesimo obliterates NBA refs for ‘disgraceful’ foul call

"I think he coughed on him. I didn’t realize in the Summer League you can’t cough on a player."

Not inaccurate.

"We couldn't play physical. I don't know. I don't want to say nothing."

"From my vantage point, I thought those calls could've gone our way."

"That sounds better than 'I blew the call,' Reg."

"How could three officials miss that?"

"What I don’t need, and I’m tired of – and probably one of the reasons I’m not calling games anymore – the Last Two Minute Report."

"That was some terrible, TERRIBLE officiating."

"His free throw shooting is still so pathetic."

"I don’t see how you call a foul on that shot."

"Oddly though, the Lakers are dead last in drives to the basket which kind of doesn’t make too much sense."

"I'ma take the fine because the refs did not give us no calls tonight"

"As you can tell, I'm beside myself."

"It's complete crap."

More transparency is always a good thing.
