What we did
I've got a varied responses from various referees. "Do it over" was a common response, but I don't like it. That's grade school kickball not basketball. I got the let the game end response too. However, punishing the visitors for the home team's clock seemed wrong at the time.
We went with Slider's alternate recommendation: no control on the play, 0.9 secs remains in the game, alternate possession near midcourt.
The AP went to black (down by 3) who inbounded the ball and got an immediate foul--no time elapses on the clock! R goes to table and scorer says: "Look it won't start for me!" and demonstrates the uncooperative nature of our clock. R says "Fine." 0.6 left on clock and I've got the time in my head. First throw is made, intentional miss on 2nd shot, tip doesn't go. A very wild finish to the season.
Thanks for your suggestions,
