I think everyone realizes what the refs did to try to correct the mistake but, at this point, I have to think that they erred in doing so.

Agreed, that quote from Lamont Simpson wasn't in the article last night. I don't think that he is lying, I just think that he blew it with the stopwatch. Perhaps he stopped the watch when the ball entered the basket, instead of when it passed through the net.
