yea, 10-6-3 was the reference for the illegal screen discussion, has no bearing on this discussion. The third exception to 6-7 is the rule I should have cited. That says ...provided time did not expire before the ball was in flight. That happened, it shouldn't have, granted, but it did. This gives me definite knowledge and I won't count the basket.

If time expired, why is there time on the clock? If you put time on the clock, by definition, time has not expired. It is completely inconsistent and illogical to conclude that you have .5 seconds on the clock but time has expired. When time expires, the period is over and we don't play that period any more. I am sorry that I cannot find a rule that tells you this specifically, but it seems pretty clear that time expiring equals period over.

Let's see, how hard could this really be.
1. Time expired, meaning the clock was allowed to run to 0.00 and the horn sounded. Fact.
2. Official correctly determines that clock should have been stopped at .5 seconds and puts time back on clock. Now there is time on the clock. It is absurd to say this is "completely inconsistent and illogical."
To recap, there was time on the clock, time expired incorrectly, the official put time back on the clock, now we have time on the clock.
You can't find a rule or case because there isn't one, maybe there should be.
