The situation where the timer at the table did "assume" that Parker's shot was going to go in was the question I had in all of this, but I can definitely say this. . .the center official nearest the table had the first whistle on the foul by Vaughn, and the lead official had an "echo" whistle on that play.
In that case, I'm wondering if they could've gone to the monitor to see at what precise time the center official's whistle sounded?
Also, consider this -- anything 0.3 and under has to be a tap for goal or otherwise disregarded -- when that foul was sounded, did the Tennessee player:
A) Have the ball in her hands or B) Did she release it?
If she released it and the ball goes through, even with the clock stopped at 0.2, that shot would be waved off being that you CANNOT have a shot at that time on the clock.
Just my $.02 cents worth.
