 The players did shoot, sometimes, but they would not score even in a bathtub (as we use to say here): the second OT ended 3-3.  Another time I was in the stands and the girls' game ended after three overtimes (more than two hours). At the end of the third OT the team down by two tried a lay-up: the ball started to turn on the rim, the time elapsed, and after what seemed some minutes the ball finally went out of the basket. Of course the blame was on the two officials.  It was a Sunday morning and we had lunch well past 3pm.

In that overtime both teams were almost at their worst; maybe one field goal and four FTs went in (with many fouls and bonus FTs, of course). In the third OT, the visitors were exhausted; their opponents were still breathing, so they won "easily". Horrible game, but the officials were great.  We just couldn't avoid the OTs.Ciao

I have never seen a game where neither team would score in double digits, but there was a game in a women's national cup competition a couple of years ago, where a professional team rolled over an amateur team (rec-league level) ... the final score was 285 - 0 (yes, zero!)
Never figured out how that happened. While I expected it to be very lopsided (The club's first team had been crushed in a regular season game of the national championship only days before the cup game, so they didn't send their pros but the 3rd or 4th team.), I still can't imagine how a team can't score a single basket in 40 minutes. I don't remember whether they made it to the freethrow line or not, but you would think they should have made at least one shot ... @eg: Where do you ref in Italy (which league)? I like to watch the referees in games from Italy, Spain or Greece. These are not only the strongest competitions in Europe (besides European Cups and EuroLeague of course), but I think that the level of refereeing is also very high.

 ) Thank you for the kind comments on the refereeing level, also I think that we have some good officials in Italy and there are good ones in Euroleague.

Had a JV girls game go OT. No one scored for either team from about 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter until 2 minutes into the 2nd overtime. 8 solid minutes without so much as a made free throw.
Had a girl on the line at the end of the first OT and she clanked 'em both. 2nd OT was a shoot out with the visitors outscoring the home team 5-2.

I watch a lot of games from Italian Lega A, Spanish ACB and Euroleague to learn from the officials. I referee on a professional level myself, but these leagues are way ahead of the competition in my country

The first half, the fouls were more than 20 and the points scored was 19, so fouls was "winning" after 3 quarters.
