Wasn't a D-I game, but I had a dumb end-of-game T last week that could have changed the outcome of the game.

First, I should explain that this is a co-ed intramural game, so good shots by women are worth one more point (3 for a normal basket, 4 for behind 19'9").

A1 hits a free throw to go up by 5 with 1.0 seconds on the clock. Team B calls a timeout, and as we're coming out of the timeout, A2 jumps up, grabs the rim, and pulls himself up. With the close score of the game and the fact that team B was primarily refs, I had no choice but to call the T. (Sad part is - A2 used to play D-I ball - he knows better!)

B hits one of the FT's, gets the ball back, and a girl misses a 4pt shot at the buzzer. Just a dumb play by A2.
