Girl makes second shot...V team throws ball away on the inbounds..H steals, shoots, misses, rebounds shoots and makes it to win. Place is going nuts since H team won...until we wave it off.

No complaints from H coach since it was clear it took more than 2.8 seconds and we were actually blowing it dead as the second shot went up..but lesson learned on things to communicate in that situation.

This isn't something that really requires a discussion -- the official responsible for the last second shot needs to look at the clock and ensure it starts. It's something I do regardless of my position on the floor.
