NBA Coaching Challenge FAIL

A coaching challenge was raised by Vogel to appeal an offensive charge called on Anthony Davis at the 2:59 mark of the 2nd quarter. I saw the instant replay during the game and it showed that Anthony Davis wasn't given adequate space to land, with the offending player not set and foot under him. Maybe it could have been a no-call, but this seemed like an obvious fail on the part of the referees in overturning an incorrect call.

What do you think? Have you seen other games with obvious coaching challenge fails?

If anyone has the video, please post it.

I saw them screwup a clear path foul in the NOLA/Houston game. They take forever to review the play and still can't even get it right. It's a waste of time.

It's like the blue line. Even with video they'll stand by the call.

Maybe I'm not familiar with the rules, but that's twice already where Vogel used his coaches challenge too early. Isn't it best to save it for the fourth quarter if the game is close?

Anybody see the Suns- Jazz game?

there should have been atleast 1 second left in the game, but the refs refused to go see the replay on the foul and coaches can't challenge in the last 2 minutes or about time so this rule is pointless.

Thought they missed that call, but understand why they din’t overturn it.

I think challenging on foul calls is almost always pointless unless there was clearly zero contact. But there is almost always some contact so it won’t get overturned.

They should save the challenges for ball out of bounds situations, goaltends, etc. Things that are easier to overturn than contact type stuff.
