I do not blame the officials for knowing exactly what should or should not be on the clock. That is a very hard thing to see by the calling official (unless there was another clock located in his field of vision and that is not likely). It is possible that the official opposite table or the Trail official might have gotten a better look. If the rules considered lag time, I would say without a doubt the game is over after the FTs. Now with the new rule, if you have knowledge they could put time on the clock. The problem is I do not think they had any knowledge of the clock status. I can tell by the official's body language that they were confused as to what to do. Someone has to know the rule about the game ending. It is possible that there might have been other factors in shooting the FTs. It is not clear if this was a regular season or playoff game (at least to me). That could have been the only reason they shot FTs but I do not know that for sure.
