CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants NBA officials to call more traveling violations.
Kerr received a technical foul in the third quarter of the Warriors' 119-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night after becoming irate when what he viewed as an obvious travel wasn't called. Kerr pointed to the crowd, where some fans were screaming for a traveling call.
"I don't understand why we are not teaching our officials to call travel in this league," Kerr said. "They do a great job and work their tails off and communicate well, but I see five or six travels a game that aren't called."
Kerr said his team is just as guilty as the rest.
After watching film, the coach said he saw his team travel four times in Saturday night's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. None of them were called.
"You know it's a problem when there are like a hundred fans in the stands and every coach on the sideline when I'm watching film and everyone is [signaling for a travel call]," Kerr said. "Everyone is seeing it, so we are clearly not teaching as a league our officials to look at the feet."
This isn't the first time Kerr -- a former NBA guard -- has criticized officials for inconsistent enforcement of traveling violations. He said he has expressed his thoughts to the league and that things need to change "for the good of the game."
"The entire game is based on footwork," Kerr said. "We need to enforce traveling violations and we are not doing it and I don't understand why. ... These [officials] are awesome. They do a great job, and they have a million things to watch, but footwork is the entire basis of the game and we need to call traveling. It will be a much better game if we clean it up."
