I'd focus on the officiating, but I wouldn't have a whole lot of positive things to say, especially when Spain's bench came onto the floor and threw towels on the floor without technical fouls being called.
Agreed. Mechanics, rule knowledge, and game management is lacking. FIBA officiating is not on the level of officiating in the United States at this point.

But then again, Olympic officiating/judging leaves something to be desired in several areas.
