How is it fair to the team that is down that the game is now over when we know there is time left? Explain that to me. In the process of trying to be fair, we actually penalized the team that's down more. I'm sure "ALL" coaches would want a chance to try to win the game and play out that second or less. That last split second could mean the difference in a state championship, a conference championship. These are big feathers in a coaches hat.
To me, this is where adults hurt the game. The game is about the players, not our ability to legislate in writing what is fair or not. Here it is, we're trying to legislate what is fair and what we've actually done is cripple ourselves. You telling the referee he can't put a second back up because he didn't actually see it. One second? Do I need to be able to see less than a second? What if the clock doesn't show less than a second? What if the clock doesn't start when the ball hits the players hand and 2 seconds later the player scores to win the game? What if the clock starts before the ball touches the players hand and the players catches and scores but the buzzer goes off to soon? I can count a second in my head. I can count a split second in my head.
