ASK: Why wasn't Jakob Poeltl given an offensive foul for attacking Trae Young in the second quarter?
ROADWAY: During the time on the pitch we had the feeling that Jakob Pöltl was in a legal marking position, but when we looked at it at half-time we realized that it was illegal leg-to-leg contact and it would have been a foul have to give.
ASK: Why was Quin Snyder given his first technical foul?
ROADWAY: For acting aggressively against an officer and using vulgar language.
ASK: Why was Snyder judged a second time?
ROADWAY: He continued to attack the officer and continued to use profanity.
ASK: In situations where you're reviewing a missed call at halftime, what would be the appropriate action for your guys? Would you add the foul later or just move on?
ROADWAY: No, you can't add the foul later, but Quin must also be responsible for his actions.
ASK: At the end of the game, Dejounte Murray was called out of bounds with 15.5 seconds left. Looking at the Jumbotron and the replay of the game, it looked like his foot was still in the field. But what did you see?
ROADWAY: The on-field referee saw that his left foot actually went out of bounds. And then after the game we checked it and found it was correct. His left foot was out of bounds. It touched the line.
ASK: What deadline did the Hawks have to express that they wanted to challenge the out-of-bounds game?
ROADWAY: In this case he had time until I gave the ball to the thrower and then he would have lost the window.
