Inadvertent Whistle
According to the NCAA Bulletin, if you blow your whistle in the last minute of a game or OT in order to retrieve a loose ball it is no longer to be considered an inadvertent whistle, thus substitutes are allowed. Not sure where paxsonref officiates but I have been in some college gyms where the ball can roll a long way from the basket. In these cases you have to stop the clock in order to retrieve the ball. What are you going to do if it's a 1 point ballgame with 3 or 4 seconds left and the losing team has to retrieve the ball after a made basket and it is rolling 50 feet away from the basket?
