I don't think I'm expecting great officiating. I AM expecting officials that care, that move to the right places, and who don't mail it in. Official A (the guy who called about 8 fouls, and didn't seem out of position all night) is what I expected. Official B (who may very well have been new) didn't seem to care, and was either VERY poorly trained, or didn't listen at all during training, as she seemed to be mailing it in.
