I point this out because what I am about to explain has occurred before when one team plays a simple zone and another team plays an aggressive man. In the 4th quarter, of what was a continual1-3 point difference, I had 3 of my starters foul out of the game. And let me point out that they weren't in foul trouble the first half! The home team, during the second half, committed a total of 3 team fouls. One official had control of the entire game, where the other one just ran up and down the floor. I am not the type of coach that takes credit for wins and blames officials for losses. Please, someone let me see this 'travesty' from a different perspective. Right now all I can think is we were hosed...

Unless you have a video of the game, or videos of certain plays you think the officials got wrong, nobody is going to say your team was "hosed" based on the foul count, and the types of defenses the teams were running.
I'm not saying you weren't "hosed", but we've got nothing to go on here.
Sorry
