Just cause you have to explain it to Coach B doesn't make it the wrong call. It was his player that committed the foul with 1.5 seconds left. I will admit that it's an awful kind of situation, but you must allow the basket by rule. To fail to do so takes away critical points from A with no rational or rulebook basis for doing so, except that it saves you an uncomfortable explanation. Know the rule, explain it with confidence, allow the basket, and shoot the FT. That's your job, it's why you put on the striped shirt.

You are entitled to your opinion which is all it is, as far as I'm concerned. I am not refusing to count this basket to save an explanation, it's because it should not count. You will not convince me to count a basket that is released after the horn sounds. The fact that the clock should have been properly stopped before the horn sounds, does not, IMO, change this. I do know the rule, and I am confident. I quoted the rule I am standing by, I didn't see yours. I really don't think it will ever happen, but if it does I will stand by my position, irregardless. :-)
