To me, running in front of a shooter isn't even an option. Either hold up short and mark the 3 or find room behind, along the sideline. I'm not sure if Joe even realized where he was at on the court! The angle given doesn't show the amount of room available on the sideline, and I'm not assuming that there wasn't room. It appears though, that some have seen a different angle that shows otherwise....

His momentum wasn't going to allow for him to stop, only to change directions. If he had tried to stop, he would have run into Curry.
And I can say this from my limited exposure to NBA officials, Dick Bavetta is not seen as close to the level of a Joey Crawford or Scott Foster or Tony Brothers.
