Team B, B -1 runs the endline after the scored basket while there is pressure from Team A, B - 1 throws an entry pass to his team mate B - 2 who goes air borne, catches the ball gains control and immediately goes to the floor.
Lead official blow whistle and calls a travel!
The game clock shows 0.1 of a second left!
Team is granted the ball via the violation, A - 1 designated spot throws the ball into the playing court to A -2 who is cutting down the lane opposite side, as the ball reaches the air borne A -2 his is bumped just as the buzzer sounds.
How would you rule on the play as an official on the court, please do not give me a rule book answers.
You do not have the aide of a monitor!
Did it take a full (2) second for the play to complete?
Would you put time on the clock or would you leave it as it is?
If you put time back on the clock, how much?
If you did not, then how would you rule on the entry pass and contact against A -2?
What if anything was missed?

It seems as though travel was th incorrect call. However, yo can't go back and nullify that call.
The official has to rule what happened first, first touching of the ball inbounds, or a foul.
Foul happened first: admin the foul with 0.1s on the clock. Play continues with either an A throw-in nearest the foul (non-bonus situation) or with a bonus situation if in the bonus.
Inbounds touching first: game over unless it was deemed that the foul was during the period of time where A2 was touching the ball and his touching was the first after the throw-in.
