Am I allowed to pretend that the game I worked a few nights ago was the first perfect game that I called in my career? I just love this pretend stuff. It's better than following the rulebook, or casebook. Of course 2-3 can get us out of a lot of "situations". It like a "Get Out Of Jail Free" card, a basketball official's best friend.

Billy, this fundamental is completely irrelevant to the situation. The fundamental applies to fouls, violations, and the end of a period. It does not apply to the horn going off, so please stop quoting it in this thread, as it bears no significance to the OP or any of the follow up posts.
Use 2-3 if you must, but the fundamental does not apply.
