Many times I've seen on this board someone write 0.1 seconds as .01
Big difference... downhill ski racing clocks show one-hundredths of a second; basketball game clocks do not.
Saw a couple of our bigtime, star, veteran officials though, the other night call the game by saying "game's over" when there was 0.2 seconds left. They just threw the ball back to the table and left the court.
That was only about their fifth gigantic error for the evening.
My favorite was after a player made a great (and legal) jump stop move and was going up for the shot, the Lead official tweets his whistle and jumps onto the floor with a travel-hold call. After searching the defenders for the guilty party he gave the offense the ball out-of-bounds underneath the basket...!!! No shots.
Travel-hold. Remarkable. After a raised open hand he made one rotation of his hands for the travel and then grabbed his arm for a hold and then bird-dogged... and then took away the shot.
And why am I watching rather than working?
My calls must be worse... or someone said something about Boy's Club???
