The fiasco at Marquette in 2013 was a bigger cheat than this was. I know there is some irregular stuff from the British federation chief telling the refs to reset the clock to 3, but outside of the fact that he had no authority to do that, the clock should have been set to 3 as the USSR coach signaled clearly for a timeout. If this were an NBA game and a team inbounded the ball before the clock was reset, they would run the play over again. I don't see that the Russian team itself did anything wrong and it seems they were MORE deserving than the US BUT again, the federation chief should not be reminding the refs of what should be obvious in the first place.
