Get Real? Sometimes the reality of an obvious clock error has to be corrected, regardless of the score, if anything but to not have the officials look foolish for implementing their own rules (i.e. running clock).
Now, you may want to ask why was your partner blowing a whistle for a violation with 2 seconds left in a game? Perhaps the turnover would impact the outcome. In an obvious 2 or more possession situation a patient whistle coupled with
clock awareness could have avoided this whole problem.
Likewise, in a tight contest, game situational awareness is soooooooo important (time remaining, timeouts remaining, anticipated play, etc.) you need to be prepared and ready to act decisively and correctly.
