The other came right at the end of the game. His team scored to take a two point lead with just over two seconds to go. The clock then ran out. However, the officials put two seconds back on the clock and let the other team inbound. Of course, the other team hit a three to win. There did not appear to be a timeout called after the initial basket and, unless they changed the rules for California state girls play during a commercial (the show takes place in the S.F.area), the clock does not stop after a made basket. Should I just chalk this up to entertainment or am I missing something (which wouldn't be that unusual after all)?

My wife and I watched the episode (love Monk) and she was laughing at me pointing out, uh, inconsistencies. In addition to what Mark saw:
After the phantom last 2 second TO, they put the ball in play at half court...
The officials allowed Coach Monk to blow a whistle on the bench during the game...
The officials refered to the teams as Purple and Yellow vice Blue and Gold...
When the the official threw the acting head coach out of the game (her only game of the season as coach, by the way...don't ask) he refered to her as "Coach Teeger" (her last name)...never heard an official call a coach by name during an ejection...
The official calls a player-possesion foul against Monk's team leading to the T's ejecting the coach. After reporting the offensive foul and T's (not very well by the way
) he says "#13 you're shooting"...
After the ejection the coach snuck back on the court in the mascot's suit, but soon took the head off and the official clearly saw her, but he never said anything, never called another T, never had her removed...
One official ran the court with his whistle dangling around his neck and he was wearing a belt (can you believe it??)...
All-in-all, looked like one of my games
