Sunday, January 25, 2026
Question: On the Riq Woolen taunting penalty, can you explain what raised it to the level of a foul?
Clay Martin: The covering official had him walking towards and into the opponent’s bench, continuing to jaw after repeated efforts by the official to have him turn away and go to his own bench. When he chose not to do so, that’s what rose to the level of a foul.
Question: Was it something specific that he said?
Martin: No, just continued jawing in the opponent’s bench area after being asked to walk away.
