One of the reasons that FIBA did not go three-man for this Olympics, and an explanation for the overall poor performance of the referees is to do with a dispute between FIBA and the European basketball league. Basically since the European league is not a FIBA endorsed competition, their referees were not allowed to officiate - which is a real shame as they have some of the top referees in the world.
