I was watching a Euro League game with the new digital cable package that I just subscribed to. Not bad basketball; alot of the guys who played in the Olympics. About midway through the first half, the two TV announncers were talking about a foul that was called in transition. One of them says:"This is a case where a third official would really help". His partner agrees with him. Here's the kicker, they were using three officials. These guys may have been doing the announcing from a studio in North America as opposed to being there in person, still what an incredible statement to make.

I saw that game. It was Tau and Benneton. I was going to post just as you did, but decided against it. Hilarious that someone else did though!
Ya, those announcers weren't good at all. Some of the officiating was questionable. They showed 2 replays (at slo-mo) where fouls were called and both looked clean to me. It was good b/c the camera angle was almost in front of the players had they not moved to avoid the camera.

It's distinctly possible that they were calling the game from a studio. And they may have been at the mercy of the camera angles or a small monitor, but yeah, they should know how many officials there are.
There are only two in the Olympics, right? That may have been where the confusion came in. They may have just assumed that Euro League basketball is like international basketball with two officials.
