No action taken on Carter, official
January 03, 2009, 6:50 AM /
EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. — The NBA did not take any action against Vince Carter of the New Jersey Nets or a veteran official who used the word “boy” during a confrontation with the eight-time All Star during a game Wednesday night in Detroit.
Referee Derrick Stafford called two quick technicals on Carter after he argued an out-of-bounds call in the second quarter of the Pistons’ 83-75 win.
A furious Carter went after the official following his ejection and seemed to bump Stafford. Carter had to be held back by teammates. He had a better day Friday, however, hitting a long three-pointer at the buzzer in overtime as the Nets ralled from a 20-point deficit to beat the Atlanta Hawks, 93-91.
