An assistant coach from the Brooklyn Nets caused a curiosity in the North American basketball professional league NBA. Assistant David Vanterpool prevented a pass from the hosts by touching the ball during the Nets’ game against the Washington Wizards (119:118) on Wednesday (local time).. The trio of referees didn’t see the situation with almost five and a half minutes to go when Brooklyn was 109:103 and allowed the match to continue. Nets pro Kessler Edwards got the ball and launched the counterattack. “I’ve never experienced anything like this in my long basketball career,” said Wizards assistant coach Jospeh Blair. “No one is perfect, but in a game like this it’s very hard to accept.”
