I have to share this. Game tied 52-52, and 4 seconds left on the clock. Guest team dribbles down to own basket, throws up a prayer, ball flies OB. I hold my whistle thinking the clock would run out, but blow it OB when ball touches the floor. Remarkably, clock shows .1 seconds left. Home team tries to send the ball the length of the floor for a desparation tap. Home player throws the ball with a high arc and it hits the partition that separates the court. Guest team has a throw in under the basket. Guest team calls a timeout to set up a play to tap in basket. On the throw in, the ball completly misses guest player, and I think the game is over. However, home team player trying to tap the ball away from the basket, taps the ball into guest teams basket! He didn't catch it, he actually pushed it off his fingertips! I thought for sure we were going to overtime. Nevertheless, I counted the basket and my partner and I got the heck out of there. Has that ever happened to anyone else?
