Chris Paul says Scott Foster ejection was ‘personal’ in loss to Phoenix

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:20:27 GMT

PHOENIX — Chris Paul and longtime referee Scott Foster have a storied rivalry that added another chapter in the Warriors’ loss to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night.Foster issued a pair of technical fouls to Paul with 23.5 seconds left in the first half because of a disagreement over a called foul on Kevin Durant. Foster called Paul’s chirps during Durant’s free throws “unsportsmanlike conduct” and T’d him up again over continued complaints, he said in a pool report. Paul, who was ejected for a seventh time in his career, said Foster’s ejection was “personal.”“I’m OK with a ref talking, saying whatever,” Paul said. “Just don’t use a tech to get your point across. I’ve got to do a better job making sure I stay on the floor for my teammates.”The rivalry dates back to Paul’s days with the Los Angeles Clippers in the early 2010s and got to a point where he, Foster, then-Clippers coach Doc Rivers, Paul&#...

Chris Paul ejected in return to Phoenix, adds to long-running feud with referee Scott Foster

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:20:27 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — Chris Paul’s return to Phoenix ended in the second quarter on Wednesday night after the 12-time All-Star was ejected by his old nemesis: referee Scott Foster.The Golden State Warriors guard and Foster have a long, acrimonious history, with the point guard complaining about Foster’s officiating for nearly a decade. Now Paul says that a years-old issue that involves his son is at least part of the reason for the friction.“It’s personal,” Paul said. “We had a situation some years ago and it’s personal. The league knows, everybody knows. There’s been a meeting and all that. It’s just a situation with my son. I’m OK with a ref saying whatever — just don’t use a tech to get your point across.“I’ve got to do a better job of making sure I’m staying on the floor for my teammates, but that’s that.”Paul declined to provide additional details of the situation with his son, though he said it happened when he was wit...

Anti-Islam populist Wilders heading for a massive win in Netherlands in a shock for Europe

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:20:27 GMT

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The far-right, anti-Islam populist Geert Wilders was headed for a massive parliamentary election victory Wednesday in one of the biggest political upsets in Dutch politics since World War II, and one that is bound to send shockwaves through Europe.The result puts him in line to lead talks to form a new ruling coalition and possibly become the country’s first hard-right prime minister at a time of political upheaval through much of the continent.The exit poll published by national broadcaster NOS said that Wilders’ Party for Freedom won 35 seats in the 150-seat lower house of parliament, more than double the 17 he won at the last election. Final official results were only expected on Thursday. “I had to pinch my arm,” a jubilant Wilders said.Wilders’ election program includes calls for a referendum on the Netherlands leaving the European Union, a total halt to accepting asylum-seekers and migrant pushbacks at Dutch borders.It also advocates the “de-Islam...

German police launch raids in anti-Hamas operation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:20:27 GMT

German police raided 15 properties in four regions over connections to the militant group Hamas and Samidoun, a pro-Palestinian organization, the interior ministry said Thursday.“We are continuing our consistent action against radical Islamists,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser said in a statement. “Islamists and anti-Semites cannot and must not feel safe anywhere here. These extremists must expect the full force of the rule of law.”Hamas is estimated to have around 450 members in Germany whose activities range from “expressions of sympathy and propaganda … to financing or fundraising,” the interior ministry’s statement said.German authorities have cracked down on some Muslim and Palestinian groups in the country after Hamas’ surprise attacks on October 7 killed around 1,200 people on Israeli soil. Germany has seen a rise in antisemitism since the war began.Earlier this month, Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck criticized German M...

South Korea says Russian support likely enabled North Korea to successfully launch a spy satellite

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:20:27 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea has concluded that Russian support likely enabled North Korea to put a spy satellite into orbit for the first time this week, and will know whether it is functioning properly by early next week, officials said Thursday.The launch has deepened regional animosities, with both Koreas threatening to breach a past reconciliation deal and taking hostile actions along their heavily armed border.After two launch failures earlier this year, North Korea said it successfully placed its “Malligyong-1” satellite into orbit on Tuesday night. South Korea’s military has confirmed that the satellite entered orbit, but said it needs several more days to verify whether it is working properly.In a closed-door briefing, South Korea’s spy agency told lawmakers on Thursday that Russian assistance was likely the main reason the launch was successful, according to lawmakers who attended the meeting.The National Intelligence Service cited Russian President Vladimir Putin...
