Agreed. I've seen better officiated HS games. The typical NCAA D1 game is better officiated than what I saw in the title game.
How can ANY official not penalize the bench throwing stuff onto the floor in protest of a call!!! That should be instant, automatic and unquestionalbe in any ruleset.
At least one of the officials was calling all over the court and getting the calls wrong a fair amount of the time. Consistency was completely absent...probably becasue one official was calling anything he thought he saw and the other two were calling what they did see.
