Had a boys JV game this Saturday. Back and forth the whole game. 2 man mechanics.
The home team is up 4 points with roughly 9 seconds left. Visitor team goes down the court and makes a 3 pointer. And immediately take a timeout. I grant the timeout at 2.5 seconds.
After the timeout, play is resumed with an Intentional Foul. My partner has a clear jersey grab. He is the Lead and I'm the Trail. I see the jersey hold from the backside and my partner sees it after he gave the ball to the thrower-in and the defender didn't let go of it.
The home team makes 1 of 2 and is now up 2 points. Since it's intentional, we bring the ball back in at the spot of the foul, which is opposite endline. Of course, the visitor team steals the throw-in pass and the kid makes a double clutch NBA distance 3 pointer to win. Oh did I mention the ball hit off the backboard?
Crazy game.
