The rule is you cannot slap the backboard while not making a play on the ball. That’s why the technical was called.

I think you could make a case he was making a play on the ball. He was in the air defending a shot. He was pretty far off the mark and I think that’s why it was called.

However, I think when the Wildcats put Reed into the wall early in the game was an opportunity to clean this one up that officials missed. I love a good physical game, but I can do without all the talking.
