BJV game. I am watching. Tie score54-54. . 3.1 seconds on clock. Visitors have throw-in from lane extended under their own basket. Visitor throws alley-oop in the lane , kid misses, pinball on the rebound, ends up in Visitors hands at 3 point arc. Kid shoots, rims to the right, visitors with back to basket taps it in from about 4 feet away. Still no horn, home gathers ball then horn goes off.
I know they could have corrected this mistake on the timers part but what could have the officials done to be sure of time ? They had problems with timer all night.
I am thinking along the lines of silently counting to one's self and then just blowing the whistle. Not much complaing from the home team cause it was their timer.
What say you ?
