One very big time complaint!
Second half- Obi got absolutely hammered on an attempted dunk - knocked him to the floor. So hard that a flagrant 1 review would not have been unwarranted. AG was incensed - as he should have been. As the ref goes by Grant he T's him up. Grant goes ballistic. Assistants hold him back for nearly a minute.
My complaint - and this happens far too often. The ref obviously blew the original call. So why do refs compound their mistake by hitting the bench with a T when everyone in the house knows they already screwed up once. This is when "referee discretion" says give the coach a bit of latitude because I know I missed the call. I can accept missing the call, but the ref needs to leave the T in his pocket in this situation.
A good ref would wait for the next timeout and quietly go over to AG and say - There was contact. Call could have been made, but I left it go. Simple enough and everyone would understand.
