Olympic Officiating
Don't want this to be a bash officials thread or NFHS vs FIBA. Just wondering what overall thoughts of group are on style of game and type of calls being made.
My observations:
- overall games are very physical all over the floor but officials seem to be very consistent about getting certain types of contact and letting others go
- seem to be much more willing to call things that get passed on of tolerated again other levels illegal screens, flopping, offensive fouls in post up and vs primary defender.
- lots of fouls in post play seem to come from prolonged time in the key for offense
- like most games there are 1 or 2 calls where I am like wtf but overall seems very consistent in difficult games to officiate
- much more willing to make big calls late in games then we see in NBA ans NCAA
