Thing is, it was the home team that would have been shooting the bonus if the table had gotten it right!

Gotta love it when the home timer/scorer makes mistakes that cost the home team...a lot better than costing the visiting team. The coach can't be mad at anyone but their own.

I had a similar situation a few years ago where team A was a big underdog and had the ball with a chance to win with about 12 seconds to go. Off a throwin in one corner, the ball is passed around the perimeter heading towards the other corner. The clock doesn't start. After about 3 seconds I crack the whistle since we have no clock. Next pass goes to the corner where the player drains a 3....but the ball was already dead before he got the pass.

The coach complained. I simply told the coach that it was his clock that messed up and he could address it with them. The timer was the brother of the AD...I'm sure the next family dinner was interesting.
