Steve Kerr's brutal zinger against NBA referees for not calling a foul

The coach of the Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr, expressed his frustration with the lack of sanctions for traveling violations in the NBA and urged the league for referees to be stricter in this aspect of the game.

Kerr received a technical foul in the third quarter of the Warriors' 119-101 victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night after getting upset when what he deemed a clear case of traveling was not called. The coach gestured towards the crowd, where some fans were also signaling the infraction.

"I don't understand why we're not teaching our referees to call travels in this league," Kerr said. "They do a great job, they work hard, and they communicate well, but I see five or six travel violations in every game that go uncalled."

Kerr admitted that his own team is also guilty of this situation. After reviewing the game footage, he noted that his players committed four traveling violations in the Saturday night loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, none of which were penalized.

"You know it's a problem when there are like a hundred fans in the stands and every coach on the sideline, when I watch the video, they're all [pointing out the infraction]," Kerr remarked. "Everyone's seeing it, so clearly we're not teaching our referees as a league to look at the feet."

This isn't the first time Kerr, a former NBA player, has criticized the lack of consistency in enforcing the traveling rule. He shared his concerns with the league and emphasized the need for a change "for the good of the game."

"The whole game is based on footwork," Kerr stated. "We need to enforce traveling violations and we're not doing it, and I don't understand why. These [referees] are great. They do a great job and have a million things to look at, but footwork is the foundation of the game and we need to call travels. It will be a much better game if we correct it."
