Agree, probably a good PC call at the end. 50/50 call if it was based on legal guarding position being established. The C might have seen a shoulder or elbow leaning in which helped him err on the side of PC. I'm ok with that and it was well sold....
Except....
....That he took a little time to process and blow the whistle. And in that time, I estimate the final 1.5 seconds or so ticked off the clock (like StripedYooper noted, timing it myself, I don't think we're at 0.0 when the actual contact occurred).
No monitor in high school, so if an official had definite knowledge of the clock at the time of contact, that time could be put back on the clock. But I wouldn't go there in this situation unless I was 110% sure. There are two human factors built into the rules here, which are the official's reaction time and the timer's reaction time. C'est la vie.
Someone said that in a sound version they never heard the horn. If that is the situation in your game, remember the game isn't over until the LED/light activates, or if that's not available, the horn sounds. Go over to the timer and see if they've got a few hundredths of a second on their digital readout, which many boxes display. If you're not at absolute zero, the game isn't over.
