College Women's. Last min. of 1st half. Action fast paced. Made basket, I'm new L. I check the clock, I see the clock stop at 5.1 sec. after a made basket, I start counting down, the clock restarts after the throwin. The team gets the ball down court, in front of me, in the corner, for a 3 point shot. The girl gets set to shoot, Beep, I blow my whistle, wave off her attempt, "yell no shot, clock stopped, end of half". And yes she stot and made the 3 point shot. I told my 15 yr. old daughter what happened and she said I should have whistled at 5.1 and reset the inbound play. SSooo, do you think I should have stopped the game with 5.1 and if so what do i do about the time?

Bart,
The clock was improperly stopped after the made basket. If you have definite knowledge of time not run off then get together and correct accordingly. Perhaps taking a second for lag time would be appropriate to accomodate for retrieval, you did say it was fast paced. My opinion is at least if you stop it when you knew it happened then the inbounding team would definitely know the amount of time they had to work with.
