End of game timing Q

[crosscountry55]

We have this discussion a couple of times every year. I agree with Rich....(darn it, Timer!), i.e. like it or not, you have to shoot the FTs because there is likely some amount of time less then 0:01/0.1 on the clock. The timer's console may help to confirm this if it displays tenths/hundredths of seconds, respectively, but absent this confirmation you have to assume there is still some fraction of a second left before the horn sounds.

Unlike the game I once called that was a 20-point blowout and a troublemaker off the bench for the losing team got fouled in the last second. The horn went off and the partner who made the call insisted on putting .8 seconds back on the clock and letting this Troublemaker shoot his free throws.
