Actually the games were shown on a special basketball channel that only played basketball games. They had the same thing set up for Soccer as every day there were games throughout the Olympics. You probably did not get that either in a TV package that was offered to you. It was rare that any of the games ended up on the other stations or that covered the entire game without commercial interruption. I will admit that I did not watch every minute of every game or most games, but what I saw was often head scratching.

I can think of HS games that were better officiated at some random school during any season. It was mostly bad from what I could tell.
