Refs went a bit over-the-top with their attempted "control" of the game, IMO. They stacked the deck against themselves with the crowd and players by making a few awful calls both ways. But an excessive referee "crack down" with terrible calls mixed in frustrates the coaches, players and the fans, working against the aim of the "crack-down" in the first place. At some point it just started to enrage everyone.
Last night, by the late 2nd half, I witnessed UD Arena fans actually heckling the refs for bad calls that were made against the opponent. That is a first for me in my 50 years of UD arena attendance. That is how bad it was.
