BktBallRef...

Missed my point by just a little bit.

I'm saying that.. it WAS a foul. HOWEVER, the foul does not stop the game.. the whistle does. Therefore, YES, it was a foul. but, NO, it did not have to be penalized cuz the whistle occurred after the "offical" end of regulation. In other words... the Crew Chief in the situation had some leeway.. in that likely the video would not show whent the actual whistle happened.

I just thought of this though.

Are they not using the precision timing system ? If so, the whistle should stop the clock at the "EXACT" instant that the whistle is blown. Therefore, the clock had to have expired.. cuz the whistle would have stopped it.. before the horn and time had run off.

Isn't this EXACT situation.. what the precision timing system is there for ?? Whistle foul and time.. near end of game situations.

I may be wrong.. but, i don't think i am correct. Someone set me straight if I am not. And please don't make stuff up. SMILE and a wink.
