David ‘The Deflector” Vanterpool?
The Nets assistant coach and the team are apparently “under investigation” for Vanterpool’s deflection of Wizards pass at the 5:45 mark of the fourth quarter vs. Washington. The deflection was not caught by any of the game’s three refs but YES Network cameras showed clearly Vanterpool’s had striking the ball.
Kristian Winfield of the Daily News broke the story Thursday.
The NBA is investigating a live-ball interference between Nets assistant coach David Vanterpool and a pass from Washington Wizards’ Spencer Dinwiddie on Wednesday.
The expectation is that the league comes to a decision in the next 24-to-48 hours and Vanterpool or the Nets could face discipline in the form of a fine or a suspension.
