Definite Knowledge?
From a coach friend of mine:
MS game (not that it matters in this one):
A down by 1, 6 seconds left, H ball in the backcourt following a timeout.
A brings the ball up court, several passes are made before they end up with a layup to win the game at the buzzer.
As the R consults with the timer to confirm whether it was released in time, the timer informs the R that she hadn't stopped the clock quickly enough before the timeout, so she made up for it by holding for a moment before starting when the official chopped in time on the throw-in.
Officials confer, and determine they now have definite knowledge of a timing error and wave off the basket. Game over, B wins.
Were the officials correct?
