David Fizdale‘s post-game rant blasting officials about a lack of calls for his teams might just get the results desired by Game 3, but just like his point guard Mike Conley Jr., there are others around the NBA that don't get the “respect” from officials they likely deserve.

Whether it's about profiling a player from being a slasher or a shooter, a contact-seeker or an evasive finisher — a foul is a foul and coaches around the league expect consistency throughout the game.

While not as loudly as Fizdale, Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has expressed concern about his star player, Stephen Curry not getting enough calls throughout the game.

As pointed out by Reddit user MagicWade in the video below, Curry is constantly held on a nightly basis as an off-the-ball route runner, trying to find space between screens to set up an open look.

He also faces a lack of calls during his follow through, which refs consistently don't seem to care to call. Steph's driving to the hoop is also an issue, as he's seen more as a crafty finisher around the league, than one that seeks to get fouled, though he often does when completing plays with his off-hand.

But perhaps the worst issue with it all is that there is a consensus around the league that players can foul Curry throughout the game and only get a minor percentage of these fouls calls, if any at all.

Curry has also built a reputation as a “reacher” through defensive plays, and while he does gamble for steals on defense, he's also called for it more often than their counterparts — provoking the ire in Kerr, and sometimes… Curry.

As basketball fans, most just want consistency throughout the game. Don't call a foul? Fine, just don't call the very same offense at the other end seconds after a call was just omitted. The lack of consistency and treatment disparity usually end up on rants like Fizdale had Monday night.
