International players argue with officials a lot

[IL Wildcat]

I was noticing this today. I've noticed it before in international basketball but it becomes more pronounced when you're watching international players competing against college basketball players. The German players were yipping and mouthing at the officials all game long today. Our guys didn't say much at all to the refs that I could see. I commented more than once to my son that the talking, mouthing, and complaining (flat out questioning calls) that the German team was doing would get UK players T-d up in most games. It's probably best to teach them to keep quiet.

No suprise as they come from the European and world Soccer style. Those guys complain and flop all over the field.

It makes the NBA almost unwatachable now.

I cannot stand watching Golden State, the whole team cries after every call

Just basketball players period .

When you’re at a live NBA game, these guys cry all the time. Marc Gasol was awful, he cried on every play, sometimes when he wasn’t even in the game

Cal was ripping into them also. Why is FIBA based in Geneva, Switzerland? We letting Roger Federer’s people make international basketball rules now? Looks like it was in Munich from 1956-2002. What the heck do those hotdogs know about the game!
