Pool Reporter Transcript

Crew Chief Marc Davis

Postgame – Cleveland at Milwaukee, November 14, 2015

NBA Crew Chief Marc Davis met with pool reporter Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com after the game between the Bucks and Cavaliers in Milwaukee tonight. Here is the transcript of that interview:

Question 1: Which referee blew the whistle with 7.4 seconds remaining in the first overtime and what was his reason to do so ?

Davis: I blew the whistle with 7.4 seconds because I was in my action refereeing the play and off to the side I heard Cleveland’s bench ask for a timeout. I granted them the timeout at which I looked at the Head Coach David Blatt and realized that he hadn’t asked for the timeout. Made an inadvertent whistle which allowed the offensive team to call a timeout, and in fact they wanted a timeout and asked for a timeout.
