Josh Hart said he spoke with a referee recently in an attempt to figure out why he's getting so many techs and whether he has developed a bad reputation. The conversation resulted in Hart realizing he needs to work on a better relationship with the officials.
"He was just like, 'You’re an amazing competitor. But sometimes in the heat of competition, it’s like you’re against us, too. Like you look at it 8 on 5.' Which I do sometimes. So I think my complaining and getting techs hurts us. ...it’s just something I’m trying to be more cognizant of and work on."
What do you think? Can improving his relationship with refs help his game or the team overall?
