I remember 7-8 years ago when I was keeping book during our V boys at a rival gym.

We are tied with 5 seconds or so and make 1 of 2 at the line to go up by one. The second FT (miss) is rebounded by home team and A1 rebounds, turns and throws towards a WIDE OPEN A2 standing at mid court. B1 fouls A1 during the pass. 3 free throws. I remember exact words at the table. "Coach, white is losing with 5 seconds to go. Of course he was shooting a three."

Of course, 2 minutes later he ended up shooting 5.....
At that time it was strictly a judgment call as to whether it was a shot or a pass. Of course the coach would disagree with the official's judgment. The call went against him.
