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

In the games I've watched, I've kept count of all the travels I've seen that weren't called. These games are averaging about three times as many as a typical NBA game.
