You have the knowledge of how long you had the count for, if it was at 2 when it was released then you go with 2 seconds....I do agree that if you can possibly convince yourself and/or others that the buzzer went off in the air, by all means do so and put 4.1 on the clock and go...if however it was clearly after he caught it, the only definite knowledge you have is the counts you might have been administering...

plus an indeterminate, unknown amount of time the ball spent in the air after it left the thrower's hands until the horn went. You do not have definite knowledge of that exact time the ball was in the air from the cessation of your count until the sounding of the horn. If the ball was caught, you also don't have any exact knowledge of how much time it took to catch the ball until the horn then sounded either. That's why you cannot use R5-10 in this case and place the ball at center. That has always been the flaw in MTD Sr's argument.
