The NBA has reportedly sidelined referee Tony Brothers for one game after he called Mavericks guard Spencer Dinwiddie a “b---h-ass motherf---er” during Dallas’s game against the Raptors on November 4th
Brothers is one of the league’s most senior referees, having been officiating since the 1994–95 season. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the NBA did not announce the decision to sit Brothers because it was not a formal suspension.
After Brothers blew his whistle for the foul, Dinwiddie pleaded his case, saying “that wasn’t a f---ing take foul.” Then, according to Dinwiddie, one of his teammates told him that 29-year referee called him a “b---h-ass motherf---er.” “But because obviously [referees are in] positions of authority and whatnot, you can’t necessarily ask for that address, so I’m just taking my fair stance and saying, ‘Hey, look, if you feel that way, fine by me, just say it to my face, like any other grown man.’ That’s all I want.”“I apologize to Tony Brothers for what seemed to keep him irate, which was a clap," Dinwiddie. “He thought it was disrespectful.
