I wasn't sure at this point i saw it correctly so then i watched the 2Q clock really close and sure enough there was a huge delay.
By halftime of the JV game my partners come in both with 20+ years of experience each and i say watch the clock at the end of the 3Q and sure enough it does it again.
Here is the question -- I debated that something was wrong but one of my more experienced partners says that's just the way it is. So our debate ranged on this fact. Before there were tenths of a second on clocks if the clock showed 2 seconds does that mean there is between 1 and 2 seconds left (which i argued) or 2-3 seconds left which he argued. It was a friendly debate with neither of us conceding. I remember vividly when i played and there was 1 second left that sometimes when you touched the ball the horn went off immediately. I then asked if we have a shooting foul with 0:00 on the clock but the horn hasn't gone off are we lining up to shoot?
Anyway just want to get some other veterans opinions.

I'd like to think if :02 shows its between :02 & :03.
Thats when you were on the road, remember?
Absolutely!
Not that I'm a veteran, IJS
