As previously reported, the French men’s basketball team defeated Japan in overtime during their group stage match. The controversial call for a 3+1 that tied the game at the end of regulation time has sparked debate.
In the final moments of regulation, French shooter Strazell hit a three-pointer and was simultaneously called for a foul by referee Kawauchi Yukihiro, creating a miraculous 3+1 play that sent the game into overtime, where France ultimately emerged victorious after a grueling battle.
The female referee who made the critical “3+1” call was Blanca Burns, a Mexican-American, and the first woman born in Mexico to officiate in NBA history.
On December 27, 2021, Blanca Burns officiated a regular-season game between the Jazz and the Spurs, marking her debut in the NBA. However, during the game, Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich was extremely dissatisfied with her calls, criticizing her officiating skills harshly.
During the 2023 Basketball World Cup, Blanca Burns officiated the game between Finland and Australia, becoming the first woman to officiate in Basketball World Cup history.
