I'm with Rich that it isnt cut and dried..
I understand Decees position. The horn that blew wasnt just a horn that blows by mistake while time is running and left on the clock. It is the end of game or quarter horn. Does that mean the ball becomes dead at that moment (because no try in flight etc) and have to go to arrow? Or, because we know that horn shouldnt have blown and we know there is a half second left can we let play continue for what we say is a half second? Or in the OP give the ball to B for a throw in out of bounds because it would have been B ball there? Say there is two seconds left on the clock in a tie game and A has the ball under their basket. They run a great play and A2 comes for a wide open layup. He catches the ball and the game ending horn goes off. CLEARLY clock was started early. Because it was the game ending horn does the ball become dead and A has to run another inbounds play with 2 put back on the clock? Or because we know there was 2 seconds can we let the play continue for the two seconds and then declare game over? Ignore that horn like we can other horns? We know if the clock doesnt start when it should and we have a count we can take time off the clock. We also know if the timer stops the clock after a made basket we can take time off the clock based on our inbounds count etc. This is my nightmare scenario and why when it is a potential issue i always talk to the timer.....I tend to agree with Deecee and in my example A would have to take the ball out again if we went by rule. It is not cut and dry..... Last edited by BigCat; Sun Nov 20, 2016 at 11:39am. |

I have had a similar game where the FT was missed and all 10 (well, probably 5 or so) players were going for the ball when the horn went off -- we had to go to the arrow. The HT coach was NOT happy with his timer. |

This conversation is changing how I officiate the end of close games, to make sure these things don't happen. Because I see huge messes. |

Count. You should at least be able to get .5 seconds (nearly) correct. And, there's some case play to the effect that "at least some time has to come off -- perhaps .3 seconds" when the ball is caught and the whstle / horn blows simultaneously.

My rule of thumb is if the team with the ball appears to have an imminent attempt to score I will not blow the game dead. If say there is 10 seconds on the clock and then inbounds and take a couple dribbles and I notice the clock hasn't started I blow it dead right away. My hope is I get it quick enough where we don't have to worry about taking time off the clock. This doesn't always happen and usually it would end up being in the 1-3 second time to be removed. That's why it's so important for the off ball official in 2-man to check the clock in these instances because the on ball guy usually will have action right in front of him and it makes it difficult to peel your eyes away.

It's unlikely Team A would be able to score again in the time allotted, and would thus lose the game, leaving the HC angry and with questions about the end.
If that HC asks about it, am I just to say "I'm sorry coach, but we have to go by the rules, and the rules say this is how to handle that situation. I understand your anger, but there's nothing I can do."? |

The only rule i know that deals with it is that we have to have definite knowledge. i would be interested in seeing the ".3 must always come off" play or interp if anyone knows it etc. |
