Foster immediately ran on the goal scorer's table and held his hand under his nose to prevent blood from climbing to the square.

He was visited by trainers and gave towels before he stuck his nose to stop bleeding.

Foster has been NBA official since the 1994/95 season. He was often referred to as the “The Extender” because it has become quite notorious that teams who enter into a playoff season often win games that he served.
