Monty Williams, the head coach of the Phoenix Suns, issued a statement expressing his discontent with the officials after his team was defeated by the Milwaukee Bucks by a score of 116-104 on Tuesday night.
Williams was quoted as saying to the reporters, “It’s just not fair.” Both Jrue Holiday, one of the most tenacious defenders in the game, and Devin Booker, who also has three free throws, are tied for the lead. Giannis Antetokounmpo has been successful with all 24 of his free throw attempts. This is completely ludicrous. It really can’t be said any other way than that.
It is tough to accept that given the fact that one player And this has happened rather frequently whenever we have played them. Because of this, I find it difficult to encourage our soldiers to keep calm since it bothers me. As a result, I find it difficult to advise our soldiers to keep their composure. They defeated us without a shadow of a doubt, which is a fact that is challenging for us to acknowledge. It has occurred a lot more frequently than it should have.”
When one examines the game’s raw statistics, it becomes immediately apparent that Monty Williams has reason to be angry. Throughout the course of the game, a total of 26 fouls were called against the Suns, whereas only 15 were called against the Bucks.
As a direct result of such fouls, a total of 37 free throw attempts were made by the Bucks, while the Suns made only 16 attempts. The disparity between the two sides in terms of free throws was a staggering 21, making it one of the largest differences in the game.

Monty Williams Commented, “I Believed We Weren’t as Sound as We Needed to Be”
Monty Williams has recently voiced his displeasure on two separate occasions regarding the quantity of attempts at free throws that Phoenix’s opponents have made. In Saturday night’s loss against the Phoenix Suns by a score of 128-119, the Sacramento Kings attempted 37 free throws, but they were only successful with 22 of those attempts.
Monty Williams commented after Sacramento’s loss, “I believed we weren’t as sound as we needed to be to compete against a tremendously good offensive group.” Williams’s comments came after Sacramento was defeated.
“We persisted, but the amount of discipline called for by the game plan to emerge victorious from that predicament was simply not present on our team. Simply put, we continued to commit fouls. I think they made all 37 of their free throws. There are a good number of opportunities for free throws there. In addition to that, it was a competitive game. There were a good number of calls that went in their favor, but there were also a few calls that didn’t go their way.”
Monty Williams may want to devote a greater portion of his time in the future to delivering lectures to his team about proper conduct. He ought to also be prepared for the possibility that the league will punish him for his words.
