As I'm blowing the play dead and game over, A2 tips the ball in and all of Team A for some reason thinks that the bucket is good. I blow it dead, my partners and I converse for a second to make sure we get it right, and wave the tip off. Team A obviously goes crazy. Here's the funny part. The official that is playing for Team A comes up to me..**** you, you blew the game... That's not even your call, it's the lead's call on last shot and you know it! Something in me thinks that the IM faculty will listen to the pleas that I've been making for 2 years to get scoreboards!

#1 - Your mechanics are wrong. Under NFHS, either the C or T who is OPPOSITE table has the final shot.
But I understand why you used the tableside official. BUt it is not the NFHS mechanic.
#2 - You should have sounded your whistle when time expired, not when the shot missed. Then there wouldn't have been any confusion as to whether the tap came late or not.
