Officials waved off the basket...Visiting team won.
Comments?
Laudible honesty on part of "table official", the likes of which might be rare.
But . . .
. . . "surely it seemed to take more than 10 seconds" doesn't really fit the requisite "definitive information relative to the time involved" (5-10-1) expectation, does it?
Unless you deem it correct that the officials were relying on "other official information" (5-10-2). Then maybe . . .
