The Pool Report interview was conducted by Chris Hine (Minnesota Star-Tribune) with Crew Chief Scott Foster following tonight’s Rockets at Timberwolves game.

QUESTION: Why was Naz Reid ejected without a prior technical foul? 

 FOSTER: Reid made a statement that questioned the integrity of the crew.

QUESTION: From the replay it appeared Sengun was moving and not set at the time of contact, what did you see that caused the call to be upheld? 

 FOSTER: After the review, the defender was deemed to beat the offense player to the spot, prior to his upward shooting motion, and gain legal guarding position.

QUESTION: At what point in Randle’s flagrant foul was he deemed to be “launching” into Sengun? 

 FOSTER: Randle was deemed to have run through the screen with force making no attempt to avoid the contact, which was deemed unnecessary.
