Conspiracy theories involving Scott Foster are nothing new, but the NBA ref has at least one fan in Pacers coach Rick Carlisle.

Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle is having none of it. He spent a part of his Sunday NBA Finals media availability defending Foster. He had a similar moment earlier in the championship series when ESPN's Doris Burke was heavily criticized for her commentary.
