The Pool Report interview was conducted by Will Gottlieb (CHGO Sports) with Crew Chief Scott Foster following tonight’s Dallas at Chicago game. 

QUESTION: Just curious about the Jason Kidd ejection.  What happened in the play preceding that ejection?

FOSTER: A goaltend was called during live play.

QUESTION: And it seemed as though the Mavericks were trying to decide whether they wanted to challenge that.  There was a timeout granted after the Mavericks inbounded the ball, is that correct?

FOSTER: A whistle occurred after the Mavericks had inbounded the ball, correct.

QUESTION: Did they attempt to challenge that goaltending call?

FOSTER: They did.

QUESITON: And why were they not allowed to?

FOSTER: The window closes for replay challenge once the thrower-in is given the ball.

QUESTION: So, to be clear, they were granted the timeout but not allowed to make the challenge?

FOSTER: That’s correct.

QUESTION: And what did Jason Kidd say to earn the ejection?

FOSTER: He used profanity toward an official on two separate occasions and was given a technical foul for each occasion.
