You have been very lucky then. No matter what you do, there are times that it can come into play.
I had a very close game a few years ago where there was a foul with 4 seconds left. I checked and double checked with the table on the foul count. 9 they assured me. A1 missed the FT, B1 rebounds the ball, outlets to midcourt and calls timeout. Near the end of the time out, the scorer sheepishly informs me that it actually was 10. GREAT!!
Send A2 back to the line and shoot the last shot---made. B's play that was drawn up in the timeout was now worthless...the game situation had changed. B lost when they couldn't get a three off to tie instead of a 2 that they needed before.
It happens out of your control. You gotta know it.
