I'll post it in the morning when I get home but my first thought is the situation was mishandled, mainly because the clock wasn't addressed.

all with 1:28 on the clock...
*foul on Iowa #25
*UVA #25 hits first FT
*two UVA players enter game for #1 and #4
*UVA #25 hits second FT
*Iowa inbounds ball
*foul on UVA #25 (ball was caught by Iowa #4, then the foul was commited)

At this point, IMO, they should have checked the monitor to see if any time should have run off. They were using PTS so I'm sure no one had a chance to trigger it. I know NCAA doesn't have the same rule as the NBA (minimum 0.3 runoff) in this regard but something had to run off because the player caught the ball and then was fouled. It's completely possible the clock would've stayed at 1:28 to the rest of the world but even if it dropped from 1:28.5 to 1:28.2 on the console at the table that's enough to get the players into the game.

I can't find an A.R. on the situation.
