He didn't gingerly toss the ball out of bounds. He threw it out of bounds. Splitting hairs.
 
Ronnie used the words "fired" and "with force". He is imagining things or twisting the truth.
Also, at issue is whether he threw the ball "into the crowd", not "out of bounds".
Yes, this is splitting hairs. That is what refs are supposed to be able to do, make proper judgements.
 
He threw the ball pretty damn hard in the direction of other people. He deserved the Tech. I don't think he deserved to be thrown out. But I can see the ref's point of view. More troubling to me is that Dirk did not get a tech for swatting the ball out of his hands.
 
It did not look that hard to me. It was an underhand toss, that only landed on a camera man sitting on the baseline, not up in the stands.

I agree with the tech. Even the ejection I can understand, if they want to say the the cameramen are part of the crowd.

I just think the description of the incident has been exaggerated.

You seem to be misunderstanding the concept of perception and judgement.

It was a judgement call and he is made a valid judgement based on his perception.

You are saying it was not a hard throw. Yet it flew across the court on a line with little to no arch on it. It takes power to throw the ball like that and his opinion was it was too hard. I can see that. His judgement was fine. It's basically an opinion. Your opinion differs from him. That does not mean his opinion is wrong.

Attacking him like this is almost the same thing you are accusing him of doing. Comes off as a bit hippocritical.

Without looking at the video, by your memory, how far did the ball travel airborne, and how much arc was there?
