Seems pretty straight-forward to me. We get together as crew to exchange information while the crowd is yelling so loud it's hard to hear each other. We determine we know that there were 11 seconds on the clock, and that we have definite knowledge that 12 seconds elapsed before the shot was released (8 second backcourt count and 4 second closely-guarded count). Therefore we get both coaches together in front of the table, wave off the layup, explain we're going to OT and why, tell the table to put the required amount of time up, then send both teams back to their benches to prepare for the OT.

We then get together as a crew to determine where the R is buying the after-game libations, since it's their fault we went to OT.

Is that how you would handle it?
