I was told players are not supposed to touch the ball after they make a basket. I didn’t know that. Collette had the ball just bounce back into his hands, then he threw it to/at the Washington player, who wasn’t expecting it. It bounced off him around his torso or hip. So it must have looked to the ref like Collette threw the ball at him.
I’m getting tired of the home crowd getting a chance to make a mocking cheer when the first foul on the visiting team is finally called 7-8 minutes into the game.
