Some of those penalties were not because of dumb players, but dumb officials. There's really nothing you can do about that.
It isn't the only way the officiating has hurt lately. Let's not forget, one of the team's previous OTLs was directly caused by the referees failing at their jobs. A blatant trip turned a 3-on-3 into a 3-on-2, followed by an illegal pick to make it a 2-on-1, and Bob's your uncle.
That said, I hope they put in some serious practice time at 3-on-3 after the road trip. It would be very helpful if they could finish the season at even money in three-point games.
