JB Bickerstaff ‘disgusted’ with officiating after Cade Cunningham’s ejection

March 16, 2025 by Hoops Hype

Coach J.B. Bickerstaff blasted the officials after the Detroit Pistons were called for five technical fouls in the third quarter of a 113-107 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. During one 48-second stretch, Cade Cunningham picked up two technicals and was ejected, and Dennis Schroder was also hit with a technical. Both players were assessed the fouls for arguing with the officials. “I’m disgusted by the way that game was officiated,” Bickerstaff said. “The level of disrespect was above and beyond. They have a guy fall down and trip on his own teammate’s foot, they review us for a hostile act. They throw an elbow to our chest and neck area, I ask to at least take a look at it (on video). … No one would take a look at it. “The disrespect has gone far enough, and I’m not going to allow our guys to be treated the way they were tonight.”
