INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY ANDREW GREIF (LOS ANGELES TIMES) WITH CREW CHIEF ZACH ZARBA FOLLOWING TONIGHT’S PHOENIX SUNS AT LA CLIPPERS GAME

June 26, 2021

QUESTION: “Why was there a decision not to review the out-of-bounds call on the Clippers with 7.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter?”

ZARBA: “Per rule if the calling official has no doubt on the play then replay review is not used.”

QUESTION: “So that play was not reviewable?”

ZARBA: “The play is reviewable if the official has doubt. In this case there was no doubt on the out of bounds play so therefore replay wasn’t used.”

QUESTION: “Did either team make a request at that point to trigger a replay review?”

ZARBA: “No, that trigger is reviewed by the officials on the floor, and it’s based on, per rule, whether or not they have doubt.”
