It's a little more on the Pistons here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050 WTKA on line at the big 1050.com. Sam should be back in the air chair on Monday. He is still out there searching for his voice. John Eubacon joins us for the 9 o'clock hour here on the show. So apparently, according to the NBA in their last two-minute report from yesterday, quote, Alan and Thompson legally stepped to the same spot while pursuing the

lose ball before either player has possession

and both lose their balance from

the marginal contact.

That is one way

to describe it. Now, they can say they don't

both have possession, but Asar has his hand on the ball

when he gets knocked down. Like his hands on the ball. He's ready to dribble and run away and dribble away. So I don't think that's the case. And the contact was not, what did they say, marginal and incidental? That's not what that was. I mean, I guess it was marginal. I didn't hit the leg. It's not marginal.

It's going to knock you down.

Was it incidental, potentially? But you know what? Someone's going up for a block shot and hitting a guy's arm. It's incidental. But it's a foul. I'm sorry, it's a foul. Their explanation of it is just to make them feel a little bit better. but Alan goes to reach for the ball.

Assar's hand is on the ball.

You want to say he doesn't have possession? Fine. I kind of think it's nonsensical. His hand is literally on top of it. He's ready to bounce it and dribble up the court and make a pass. So I don't know how that is how that call is made the way that they to describe describe it the way that they do, because it's not the way that it is actually happens. But this kind of goes in line with what happened to AJ Hinch yesterday. AJ Hinch and the call in the, though, was the fourth inning or whatever it was and the play at third base was Gage, right? That was the third base. Yeah, Gage Workman, yeah. Yeah, he's sliding in the third base and is close. Yes, I get it.

It's a really close play.

And they call him out.

They show the replay and they challenge it.

And the replay says that he is out.

But how can he be out if we have stills of his hand on the base before he gets touched?

Like, it's fractional in time.

I know it's fast, but you can freeze frame the video and see the hand on the bag

before there is a glove on him.

We have the technology.

So how do they get that wrong?
