Postgame – Milwaukee Bucks at Boston Celtics– March 29, 2017

Q: In reference to the play at 3:55 of the second quarter, what was the original call – was it on Middleton or Smart?

Sean Corbin: “The original foul was a loose ball foul on Marcus Smart.”

Q: Why was it changed?

Sean Corbin: “The crew got together, we met prior going to video and we decided that we needed to look at video because both players were on the floor bleeding so we went to the video review for a hostile act. In the review we noticed that Khris Middleton initially made contact to Marcus Smart’s face. That’s how the original contact to the play occurred.”

Q: Were they looking for a flagrant?

Sean Corbin: “No. We were looking for the previous play on the review. It has nothing to do with a flagrant foul.”
