Devin Booker on NBA officiating
por Yutaofficial: Devin Booker
Officials getting pulled into Phoenix Suns training camp scrimmages is a move Devin Booker calls cool, since it gives the league a real look at what referees are prioritizing this year. He expects to see specific calls like closing out on shooters and mentions catching social media chatter about offensive fouls, including continuation calls. The player points out that officials are in a tough spot because modern players are so advanced. Those nuances of the game can trick them into funny situations where guys have time to execute tricks that mess with the call.

I think that's cool, they bring them in for our scrimmages now. And I think that they're in the training camp, we'll see the kind of emphasis on what they're trying to emphasize this year. Continuation calls, closing out on shooters. So it's something every year. I've seen some on social media today about the football, being an offensive foul. So, we have a better idea at the end of the field. They're in the tough spot. Guys are so advanced. They're learning the little nuances that they're doing to kind of trick them and put them in funny situations. And guys have the time to do that.
