FWIW - my guess
[QUOTE]Originally posted by Oz Referee
Team A inbounds the ball after timeout, proceeds up the court, uses approximately 15 seconds of the shot clock and then releases a shot. After the shot is released, the scorer's horn sounds, and I stop play. Basket goes in. Turns out that the timekeeper forgot to restart the game clock after the timeout. Coach B immediately demands that the basket by Team A be disqualified as the clock was not running - therefore the ball is dead.
We are allowed to disregard the horn at our choosing.
i) Cancel the basket, Coach B is correct - can't score with a dead ball, return ball to Team A and start play with inbound as if the 15 seconds never occurred.
Our ball would have been live; clock working, or not, does not affect the status of the ball.
ii) Count the basket. Ignore the extra few seconds of time played, and Team B inbounds as per normal play.
Run the known time off the clock, count the basket, and play from there.
