Other than that, they got it right. Jump ball to start the OT.
How far did they come onto the court? Here are the mistakes I see here.
1. The nearer official should have probably called this when she saw it, giving B two shots and the ball at half court with .4 seconds remaining.
2. The farther official should have gotten his butt off the court when the horn sounded.
3. The farther official should have simply ignored the coach's request for a retroactive T.
4. This is what it boils down to, though, A should not have come off their bench; they deserved what they got.
5. B coach now has the impression that he can work these two officials, and he's right.
