Again, this is what they used and what the rules say to use. This is what happens when you get people that never had to rule on anything making rules they do not have to enforce.

Peace

The rules they made are just fine. There was a bug in the program, not a problem with the rule or the protocol. Like it or not, technology is far better at these things than humans. People expect it to be right but mistakes are still made. This will be fixed and it will not happen again.

We could do it like soccer and just have the referee decide the game has ended somewhere after the time actually runs out.

We could also do like football and have the game end at the end of the play that's underway when time expires. For basketball, I would say that the game ends when neither team is in team control after time has expired. If nobody's in control, game's over at once; if control is given up for a try, the game extends through the end of that try.


...nah, I like what we have better.

The same problem still exists....it has just moved. It may be less frequent, however. There would still be the question of whether a player/team obtained control before or after time expired.

Better they find out now with a game (relatively) no one cares about than have something like this come up in March.
