Then, at the end of the game there is a 2 minute rule where, to prevent a point guard, or anyone else from standing on the other side of halfcourt and dribbling for 2 minutes, the other team can cross over.

yzrider3,
Sounds vaguely familiar from 40 years ago. (circa 1963)
Now, however, there are no such restrictions on playing defense in the back court, unless it is a local rule of some sort.
The 'very bad refs' you saw may not be old enough to remember the archaic rules of yesteryear.
