It is clearly a sign of bad coaching if you're best players continue to foul the other team so often they have to sit down and not play!
Sigh....

It's the NBE, Jeff. The players do NOT have to adjust to the officials. The officials are supposed to adjust to the players. I think that's written somewhere in the players' bargaining agreement with the league. From the whining that goes on during just about every call, it almost has to be.

NBE officials get their direction as to how the league wants their games called from head office. Every freaking call is monitored and graded. But when the officials do call the games the way they're directed to, everybody blames the officials instead of the league. Go figure.
