1) Will someone please show me in the Rule Book where it says that the official score is the score on the scoreboard? I will answer my question for everybody. No one will be able to show me because the scoreboard is not the official score. The running score in the official book is the official score.

2) The officials did not approve the score on the score board, they approved the score in the official scorebook. The official scorebook (and thankfully the visitor's book as well) showed that the socre was tied at the end of regulation. Therefore the fact the everybody had left the visual confines of the court does not apply, because the game was TIED at the end of regulation playing time and was NOT over.

3) The officials were correct in having the overtime period played.
