Wizards acting head coach Joseph Blair did the same thing.
The Nets were up by a point when Vanterpool interfered.
The Wizards lost an opportunity to score because of Vanterpool, but Brooklyn didn't score on its next possession.
It's a bitter pill to swallow when you lose a one-point game. If a technical foul was called on Vanterpool, the Wizards would have one free throw attempt and the ball back.
The Wizards had multiple chances to win the game on their final possession. The Wizards' comeback attempt was ended by three-point attempts from Kuzma and Dinwiddie.
Josh Robbins of The Athletic acted as the game's pool reporter and got some answers from crew chief Ben Taylor regarding the play.
Taylor noted that his crew did not see a ball hitting the court. He said there was no way to conduct a review.
Vanterpool was a professional basketball player from 1995-2007. He's been an assistant or associated head coach for many years, most recently for the Nets.
His first season in Brooklyn will be in the 21st century.
