I don't mean to sound whinny but I do think that these are the rules references that one would look at in deciding if the officials actions were correct. I do agree with your comments concerning the Precision Timing and how the officials can arbigrarily decide before the play even occurs.
You're not sounding whinny, like a horse, but you are sounding whiny!

I was simply pointing out that none of the references address a 7. situation. Therefore, there's no rule to fall back on to say, "in this situation, the basket cannot count."

That's consistent with what I saw as well. There appeared to be .2 left when he released. So, there would have been .1 if we started at .6 and no time left had there only been one half second on the clock.

Thanks for the reply, Eli.
