Foul as time expires in regulation

[WhistlesAndStripes]

OK, we slightly screwed this up.

I was the trail in the original post. After the foul was reported, we discussed what to do given that the clock read 0.0. We decided to shoot the FTs with the lane cleared. She missed the first and made the second, sending the game to OT.

Would it have made a difference if we had shot it with players in the lane? We'll never know. We didn't think to talk to the clock operator to see if she thought time was out before the foul was called, or if the horn was enabled.

We did have a chance to review the play via video afterward. The clock is only visible during the throw-in. Using a stopwatch, we determined that the foul did in fact occur before time on the clock expired, so granting the free throws was correct. We just jacked up administering them with players in the lane spaces.

Live and learn.
