End of game timing Q

Not necessarily. I once had it happen with less than 0.1 remaining (end of quarter situation). The console read 0.03. That said, mathematically this situation occurs ten times less often than it would on a clock that does NOT display tenths.

Best part was it was on a held ball. Team with the arrow got 0.03s for a backcourt throw in, then didn't get the arrow to start the next quarter. Had I been the coach, I would have told my thrower to intentionally commit a throw in violation!

What good would that do? The team would still lose the arrow.

You're right. I outthought myself. Because I was writing before I had my first cup of coffee, I somehow imagined that the subsequent throw-in would also be an AP throw in.

Duh.

You mean you would have put a scrub in the game and had them commit a team control foul before the throw-in ended.

Thanks odog. I was mistakenly thinking about this thing. Of course what you said is correct. I'm losing it.
