I realize that it should have been H's ball underneath after they scored, so I wave off the last basket and I go up to the table and let them know what I have. As I was explaining it, the official waiting for the JV comes up behind the table yelling NO NO NO saying V34 gets the basket. I don't think he realize I was just disallowing the last shot.

So my questions are;
1. Am I correct in disallowing the second shot? and
2. WTF?
So White scores the second free throw. Blue takes the ball out and throws the ball through whites basket. At this point, you should have stopped the game and awarded the basket to white. Not sure why you would ever think Blue did this on purpose but moving on, Blue gets the throw in. However, that doesn't happen.

Instead, white takes it out and white scores. Now at this point is where you actually stopped the game and get everyone pointed the right way.

Am I reading this right? If so, sounds like complete confusion. This is exactly why we do lower level games, so we can see the crazy plays that we don't see at the higher levels, often.
