Could very well be that the officials got it right two years ago, too, assuming in that instance there were more than five seconds on the clock. Bottom line is that this coach either hasn’t read the case book, or doesn’t want you to know what’s in it. The ruling is crystal clear.
I wouldn’t mind the NFHS adopting the collegiate last-minute rule to avoid this stuff. However, that’s about as high a priority for me as a universal shot clock, meaning not high at all considering these types of situations are so rare.
Hey, coaches: manage your timeouts better!
