Got a call today from the state office to talk a little about the incident. The person was completely supportive and basically said that if the school doesn't suspend the coach, then the state will.

Talking about it again got me to thinking about how it could have been handled better. Two things are bouncing around my head.

First, I obviously should have brought the coaches together for an explanation before announcing the ruling.

Second, could I have gone to the timer to ask if he had definite knowledge of how much time was on the clock when the whistle blew? Could I have used his information to change the clock if he knew that more than a second ran off?
