Yes, Knight knows all things basketball, but seriously, I have watched thousands of games over the last 20 years and this was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.
The grabbing the jersey foul that was not intentional even though a blind man could tell it was intentional was bad enough, but if you watch the replay you see one official start to raise the intentional foul signal, but suddenly decided (for whatever reason) to change his mind.
However, even that wasn't as bad as the other not-called intentional foul earlier in the game where a defensive player was badly beat on a long pass and took both hands and shoved the airborne offensive player in the back with no attempt on the ball directly in front of the official. If ever there was a "textbook" intentional foul, that was it.
This crew made NBA officials look good.
