I've kept the time the last two years for HS varsity. A few times I have had the refs tell me that if a shot goes at the end of a quarter they may come to me for help if there is some doubt or a malfunction. In the case above it was said that they asked the timer and he said the foul happened before the clock expired.

Now, there should be time left if the foul happened before the end of the quarter, they should have asked how much time was left, put that time back up, shoot the free throws and continue with the game.

If the horn didn't sound after that, the ref can blow the whistle and end the quarter.

In this case I think they needed a timer that was on the ball and knew what was going on.

I even had an instance at the end of the quarter when one ref thought the bucket was good, the other thought it was not. They confered and then came to the table and asked what I thought. I told them how I saw it and they made a ruling. (no basket) Guess I am saying that a good timer can really help out in a situation like this.
