Chris Paul calls referee Scott Foster a ‘b****’ after being ejected from Warriors-Suns game as point guard and official continue long-running feud

Chris Paul and referee Scott Foster continued their long-running feud on Wednesday night as the Warriors point guard was ejected in the second quarter.

After arguing with Foster over a foul call, Paul picked up a first technical foul before his continued protestations got him booted from the game vs. the Suns.

And the NBA veteran lost his cool, calling Foster a ‘b****’ as teammate Stephen Curry stepped in to remove him from the situation.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr was also assessed a technical foul as he questioned the decision to toss Paul from the game. 

Golden State went into the half down 63-47 to Phoenix.

Aside from Wednesday night, Paul and Foster have plenty of history together.

Before his Suns team won their first round Game 2 vs. the Clippers last season, Paul had lost 13 consecutive playoff games in which Foster was the head referee.

Paul has called out Foster numerous times throughout the years, including in 2018 during his time with the Rockets.

‘Yeah, Scott Foster at his finest,’ Paul said after a regular season win in which he was given a technical foul. ‘You know what I mean? He just never fails. 

Paul, seen in 2019 with the Rockets, and Foster have clashed on numerous occasions

‘Some of [the referees], you can [communicate] with. You’ve just gotta figure out who you can and you can’t.’

And according to ESPN, before a Game 7 with the Thunder in 2020, Foster curiously reminded Paul that he had officiated his Game 7 loss with the Hornets to the Spurs in 2008.

Paul, 38, landed in Golden State via trade this offseason.

He is averaging 9.8 points and 7.7 assists in a reserve role off the bench.
