Situations like this are the very reason you have to keep watching what the ball is doing.

Thanks Rut, this is equally good advice. The clock operator at this particular game is very good and would have given an honest answer, but there are plenty of schools where you couldn't be confident in the answer the table gives.
The main point of the original post was the Blue kid copping to the tip-in and that I'm still not sure if he has figured out what he did. It was certainly a learning experience for me about officiating a play all the way through, and knowing your partners. I've called enough with the T who who didn't watch the entire play that I should have known to pay even closer attention to everything that happened. He's capable of calling a good game, but you never know when he may do something goofy or lazy.
