Just a side note.
This brings to mind my worst day ever on the courts. Years ago as a young ref I was doing a 9th grade girls championship game. Lead changed on every shot in the 4th quarter. We are in a double bonus situation and had a few seconds left. B1 steals an in-bounds pass and drives to her basket. A1 fouls and the clock is stopped at 00.0 (no tenths) but the horn had not sounded. Fans of A go nuts and run onto the court as the clock shows A up by 1. Team A runs onto the court to celebrate. Team B is on the court clapping for A (I just love girls games.) I am standing there looking at both coaches, on the court, trying to get their kids off of the court.
What a mess! After everything was straighten-out and we determined that the horn was working, B1 missed both ends of the double.
