I saw that game as well... The officials did as good a job as possible with what they had - namely 2 officials.
I don't see how anyone could think that 2 officials can adequately cover a game of that caliber. The takedown incident with Vince Carter in the first 2 minutes, and the collision with the Bill and Vince as well, should strongly encourage FIBA and other organizations to pursue 3-person officiating.
Brad,
I thought Vince Carter caused the injury in a deliberate attempt to get Mildenhall away from him. With Carter's, obviously, superior peripheral vision, I am thinking that he knew that "little" official was there.
I was saddened by that display and the results of that action.
