If I felt I had to do something I would do it at halftime. If the tournament officials had been told beforehand to address it and didn't then I'd be annoyed with them in the locker room but not to the point that I'd basically call them out in public.

Agreed, but they probably owed it to the coaches to come and explain after they instructed the officials to make the call. If I was an official on the court, I would expect as much.

A couple of things I have learned:

1. Guys not taking care of business in prior games end up serving pie like in "The Help" to subsequent officials.

2. How one guy on this thread has ended up on ignore lists.
