Fort Wayne Mad Ants: More Officials Mean More Fouls

Officials for Tuesday’s Fort Wayne Mad Ants-Long Island Nets game called 64 total fouls Tuesday in a game that used a four-referee team.

The game was a part of a NBA Development League 4- and 5-person officiating crew experiment. The D-League is conducting the experiment at Nets home games between Dec. 26 and Mar. 19. In addition to the Mad Ants’ 30 fouls and the Nets’ 34 fouls, Nets’ players J.J. Moore and R.J. Hunter and the Mad Ants’ Alex Poythress fouled out of the game.

The Mad Ants were 35-46 from the free-throw line, and the Nets went 26-34 from the charity stripe.
