Is this correct? I know he didn't have definate knowledge of how much time to put back on....the clock did not register tenths of a second.
Should time have been put back on the clock? It doesn't seem right to just let the game end with the foul and no throw in when the whistle clearly preceded the horn and the possesion could determine the outcome of the game.
How do you know he didnt have definite knowledge?

So what if the clock didnt register tenths... he didnt put any tenths on there, just a second.
