What’s Really Behind the Shocking Drop in Referee Scoring Accuracy?
In the aggregate, though the three-shot foul had been the more notable culprit to the early-season free throw parade, fouls on 2-point attempts have also dropped by about one per team per game in January. That might not seem like a lot, but even one less foul call means a lower likelihood of playing in the bonus, which helps to keep scoring totals in check.
It remains to be seen if the January drop will stick for the rest of the season. Teams, fans and sportsbooks would certainly like some normalcy. But a return to early-season free-throw levels can’t be ruled out. If you ask Jaylen Brown, maybe the only consistency is the inconsistency.
