All this brings to mind one of the worst calls we must make, by rule. A lead by 1 with seconds left in the game, A1 is trying to dribble out the clock in the backcourt, closely guarded by B1. A1 loses his footing, and the ball rolls free toward B's basket. But before B1 can reach the ball and score the winning layup, the whistle inexplicably sounds.
OOPS
By rule, not only is B denied the uncontested layup, but A gets the ball back.
I would like to see a change here.
In the event of an inadvertent whistle while the ball is loose, it shall be a judgment call by the official which team shall be awarded possession.
