There have been other threads (recently, I think) where it was suggested that bidding a suit after making a NT overcall should show 5 of the suit, not 4-5. Maybe this will stop GIB from pulling.
This comment appears to speak to North's 2S bid, which I agree is suspect. But having bid 2S, the subsequent 3S is in a different league.
Had North held 4 Spades and a singleton Heart, the 2S bid would not be criticised, but I doubt that North's subsequent bidding would have differed.
