Video: Is Justin Young's sports fault really controversial?

At the very tense time of the match, the referee took the whistle to blow the sports spirit (Unsportsmanlike Foul) for Justin Young, saying that the player of Thang Long Warriors made a mistake when Danang Dragons put the ball into the field.

When the whistle was stored, Danang Dragons was being led 1 point (68-69) with a time of competition for more than 50 seconds. This sensitive time made the Filipino referee's decision, Mr. Harry Santos, which caused a lot of controversy.

At first glance, many people mistakenly thought of the whistle of Justin Young's people with foreign soldiers Dominique Grant. In essence, the Filipino referee blows a fairly closed shirt that Young has done with Michael Soy.

If at another time, this is completely a normal error. But because the match went to the end of the fourth half, the referee had the right to blow the sports spirit.

This is clearly stated in the FIBA ​​basketball law in section 37.1.1:

The defensive player has a wrong impact on the attacking player when the competition time is less than 2 minutes in the fourth half and extra time, when the ball is still in the hands of the referee for the situation of the ball or in the hands of the person broadcasting the ball. record.

Justin Young's shirt occurs when the ball has not been put into the pitch, so the Referee Santos had a basis when deciding to punish the player who defeated sports spirit.

Stepping on the punishment, the person who was foul was Michael Soy threw one of two technical penalties. Edward Horton then scored "Clutch" to bring the advantage of leading 2 points for Danang Dragons.

The match ended with the final score of 73-69 and the third consecutive victory for the Military Region 5 team, but the controversy surrounding the whistle of the referees would probably be discussed quite a lot in next time.
