Here's the clip described in the OP. Crawford has surely had his days of glory, but he has turned into the proverbial 'crazy Uncle Joe'.....
Joey Crawford going off!! - YouTube |
The overall sentiment is this thread seems to be that Crawford has earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants to do, and to do so without criticism. Maybe he has.
I just think that it's a little out of control that he essentially made them redo a FT after a missed shot for a technical, yelled loudly at his partner to give him the G-Damn ball, and then readministered the FT himself from the C position.
I have a ton of respect for the guy. He has accomplished things that I can only dream of and I'm not suggesting there be any sort of action taken against him. I'm just opining that he was certainly over the top and out of control in this situation.

I'm interested in seeing the whole thing again as well to make sure that what I think transpired is actually what happened.
But I was watching live and know for a fact that Paul shot and missed the first shot for the T. And since the NBA only awards one shot for a T then Crawford either issued a second T that most in the gym did not pick up on (possible) or he just did his own thing and made them re-shoot.
Notice that even Chris Paul is looking at him like, "are you sure I get another shot here? Is it ok for me to shoot now, Joey?"
