In case you don't watch the video, here is what happened (I won't discuss the added 2 seconds coming from the home team's scorekeeper that the refs put back on the clock): Highlands is up 60-58 as Parsippany Hills brings the ball up. A kid heaves a desperation shot....hits rim, bounces up, hits the basketball mount behind the backboard, back down onto the rim and then into the basket. The trail official counts it and then runs into the lockerroom.
Enjoy. Looking forward to comments.

The bottom line here:
1. Time should not have been added back on the clock.
2. The basket should not have counted. Totally, a bad sequence of events.
This is for those newer official who may be starting. The time you hear or blow your whistle. You should always look at the clock.
