Fuzzy Specifics, But It Did Happen ...

Infamous game regarding this rule back in the mid-to-late 1970's.

Southern Connecticut State College (my alma mater) versus Springfield College. Winning team wins a one point game at the final buzzer and celebrates by immediately dunking the dead ball while the officials were still in their positions on the court (they didn't even start their off the court trot). Free throw (or free throws) for the technical foul either reversed the victory, or led to an overtime that eventually reversed the victory.

Ouch! I wonder how many suicides the losing players ran at the next practice?
