How much time?

[BigT]

Tied game .9 seconds left. Team makes first and purposely misses second. Coach is screaming for a time out. His team lets the ball once and then finally they grab the ball. Do you leave it with .9 seconds or do you take anything off by rule?

Thanks in advance,

I think you have to remove some time from the clock, however long it took for them to gain player control.

Thanks in advance,

Let me rewrite this Situation.

Play: Team A: 50, and Team B: 50; 0:00.9 left in the 4th QT; A1 is awarded two FTs. A1 makes his first FT and purposely misses his second FT. The Ball goes directly to the Floor. A-HC starts requesting a TO as soon as it is apparent that A1's second FT is not successful but before A2 takes PC of the Ball. Ruling: a) If A-HC is not making a request of a TO at the the moment that A2 takes PC of the Ball, the Clock shall start as soon as A2 touches the Ball. b) If A-HC makes a TO request as soon as A2 takes PC of the Ball, then case could be made that the Clock should be remain at 0:00.9.

Agreed in A. In B, there is the case play where "likely 1/10s of a second" have to come off in a similar situation. NCAAW has a minimum of .3 in these cases.

Always listen to bob.

2009-10: SITUATION 11: Team B scores a goal to take the lead by one point. A1 immediately requests and is granted a timeout with three seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Following the time-out, Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in from anywhere along the end line. A1 passes the ball to A2, who is also outside the boundary; A2 passes the ball to A1 who is inbounds and running the length of the court. The timer mistakenly starts the clock when A2 touches A1’s pass while standing outside the boundary. An official notices the clock starting on A2’s touch (a), before A2 releases the throw-in pass to A1, (b), while A2’s throw-in pass is in flight to A1, or (c), as soon as A1 catches the throw-in pass. RULING: This is an obvious timing mistake and may be corrected. In (a) and (b), the official shall blow the whistle, stop play and direct the timer to put three seconds on the game clock. Since the throw-in had not ended, play is resumed with a Team A throw-in from anywhere along the end line. In (c), the official may put the correct time on the clock, but must make some allowance for the touching by A1 – likely 10ths of a second, if displayed. The ball is put in play nearest to where it was located when the stoppage occurred to correct the timing mistake. A “do over” is not permitted in (c), since the throw-in had ended. (4-36; 5-10-1)
