I disagree. All three officials are FIBA officials. Yes, David Jones is an NBA official but he's also a FIBA official. And I believe he has officiated all of the USA friendlies. In fact, the two games I saw had the same three officials.

This is the list of American refs who are FIBA licensed, not the ones working the Olympics.

I assume there would be no more than a few Americans actually working the Olympics.

PS (I just checked the FIBA website: Ed Rush and Susan Blauch are the only Americans working the Olympics)

Not according to the list that Jay just posted.

Not that it has to be correct.

BTW Bill Kennedy worked the USA/Canada game in Vegas.

Wish this petty snipping would just go away...sometimes its funny but most times it just childish.

Whether you get the network or not, it is being replayed...and the replay may be of interest to someone who doesn't get the network...they may wish to seek out a place to watch it.
