NBA Fines Steve Kerr $25,000 For Offer To "Literally Put Together A Blooper Reel" Of Bad Calls

Following Wednesday’s win over the Toronto Raptors, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shared his thoughts on NBA officiating with the Bay Area’s KNBR 680:

How is it that everybody on Earth can see these traveling violations except for the three people that we pay to do the job? I don’t get it. It’s bizarre. (Traveling’s) a point of emphasis on one particular play and that’s when you catch and go ... it’s just the one that the officials are taught to see.

But I can literally put together a blooper reel of plays that are embarrassing travels that are just not called. I believe it’s a case of they have so many things to look at — they are looking at defensive three seconds, the contact in the lane when people are cutting through the lane, they’re looking at the charge and block circle — they’re looking at everything except what they should be looking at which is the basic rule of the game, which is traveling.

And it’s a shame because guys are getting away with murder out there and the fans see it.

Rather than take Kerr up on his proposal to utilize his video-editing skills, the NBA hit him with a $25,000 fine this morning:

There’s plenty of space on YouTube, Steve.
