PS I have a theory as to how the officials got 0.6 seconds to put back on the clock. I believe that they totally blew it logically. As you can see on the replays the game clock on the top of the backboard shows 0.0 or 0.1 as the ball goes through, so it didn't come from there. In the broadcast the R can be seen with a stopwatch in his right hand while kneeling in front of the monitor. I believe that he timed the interval between the tap on the missed FT and when the clock finally started and came up with 0.6. However, he then mistakenly believed that he had to ADD that time to the game clock instead of SUBTRACT it! So he ordered 0.6 put back and the last throw-in for Akron.
Does that seem plausible to anyone?

Eh. It's not totally implausible. The refs knew that the clock started late. For three refs to hear the horn go off, know that the clock started late, then ADD time to the clock seems like a big brain fart.
