Before anything else, let me make one thing very clear: The point of this article is not to blame Scott Foster, Eric Lewis, or James Williams for the Phoenix Suns’ loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Did they impact the game? Sure. But so did all of the players on the court. Place blame where you want, but let’s talk about a bigger picture.
That bigger picture is why Scott Foster is even an option to be a referee in the NBA Finals.
The history of Foster’s performance and the controversies involving him raise a multitude of red flags that indicate he has absolutely zero business serving as an official in any basketball game, let alone an NBA basketball game… let alone an NBA Finals game.
