If you think NBA refs are bad

check out this badboy:

it's russian league finals, game 3, BK Khimki vs. CSKA Moscow.
basically what happens is with 1 second left in the game and with Khimki leading by 3 points "Miracle Milt" Palacio stupidly fouls Shishkauskas, who is trying for a miracle threepointer of his own.
refs call a shooting foul, giving CSKA a chance to tie, which angers Khimki's head coach to a point that he completely loses it and is given a technical foul by the ref.
so all of a sudden CSKA gets 5 free throws (3 for the shooting foul and two for the tech), but (and this is a funny part) inspector from the league intervenes and after a brief discussion they downgrade it from 5 free throws to only 2, deeming a shooting foul as a non-shooting foul and taking back technical to the head coach.
in a deciding game of playoffs finals no less.
