Georgia-A&M timing error

[JRutledge]

I only think one of the off officials would have seen this, but the play is so critical they do not take their eyes of plays like this at this point of the game. And only if the clock was in the view, which I doubt it was.

Assuming for the sake of argument that someone on the sideline started yelling that the clock wasn't running and the C official looked and noticed it what should be done? And let's say the C noticed it any time before the ball was passed into the post player.

I get the outcome, but it's a bad outcome. Had the player(s) known the clock was expiring, I'm sure a shot would've been attempted earlier.

I'd almost be happier to see a rule that provided for a throw-in with 5.6 seconds left based on the ball location when the clock stopped erroneously.

Why? They ran what they wanted to run, and got the attempt they were looking for. Everyone knew they started with about 10 seconds. They don't need a do-over. The fact the clock didn't run or horn went off, doesn't change what happened and doesn't change that they got their shot.

Their shot was unsuccessful because they got fouled. The foul and the shot were wiped off by the stopwatch at the monitor. So I'm not sure what point you are making.

if the foul occured before time ran out then shoot 2. I'm saying they don't need a doover.

Huh?

Do you know the situation?

5.6 on the clock when it stops erroneously with a live ball in play. 7 seconds later there's a shooting foul.

That is completely wrong. They didn't get what they wanted at all, they thought there was time on the clock and kept working for a better shot. The fact that the clock stopped likely changed everything.
