Back when I was coaching, one of my players needed 25 points for 1,000. I arranged everything with the opposing coach and officials just in case. She got 998 to force OT. When they went back out for the OT tip, I told the timer to not hit the horn and the U to just play on. She scored her 1,000 in the OT, and they made an announcement at the next timeout. We won, and our next game was home, so we did a ceremony before the game, and also stopped another game for her later in the season when she got her 1,000th rebound.
