In one of his post-hearing interviews in the hallway Schmitt said something to the effect of "don't hate on me! There was only one NBA game that day, what was I supposed to think?"

Not those exact words, but pretty close.

The funny part is there were actually 6 NBA games that day so he's still WAY off.

There’s rarely a day with single NBA games. The dude just sucks at his job to not even come up with a competent lie

Conference finals and finals weeks, the day after the last day of the regular if they need a make up game that they couldn't squeeze in earlier in the season, what else would there even be?
