Controversy
He is disliked by Chris Paul who after a game 7 loss to the Rockets said, “that shit don’t make no sense...we could have won the game”.[14] Paul Pierce also said about Foster, "He’s just not one you mess with. It shouldn’t be like that because when you look at it, it’s stars — Harden, DeRozan, Chris Paul that he’s getting into it with. You gotta be able to listen to the players, have that relationship."[15][16] Several players have complained about Foster, one saying that, "You can’t talk to him. He’s never wrong" and, “I like refs where they say, ‘You know what, I made a mistake. I saw it at halftime. You were right.’ But Scott Foster thinks he never makes a mistake. The players see the stats of how he is on the road. He always helps the road team out. He loves to stick it to teams.”[17][18][19][20] and a veteran player saying, “He had one of our playoff games and as soon as he walked in, I was like, ‘This game is over.’ We all knew we were going to get bad calls, and we did” and, “You couldn’t say anything to him. Hell, I don’t think you could even look at him.”[21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Foster also averages calling 0.7 more personal fouls per game than the league average over his career.[28][9]
In a survey, the LA Times interviewed 36 people to vote on who they thought were the best, and worst, referees. Foster received the most votes for worst referee, earning 24, which was nearly double the referee with the second most votes for the worst referee which was Lauren Holtkamp with 14 votes.[28][19][21]
