Rule 5 Scoring and Timing Regulations

.08 on the clock in 2nd. Team A has throw in in their backcourt. Team A player throws long pass and is caught by another Team A player who immediately throws in it for a 3. .08 is still on the clock. Clock did not properly start.

The officials got together and decided to cancel goal and do the original throw in all over again.

Rule 5-1 ART. 2 says whether the clock is running or stopped has no influence on the counting of the goal.

Did the officials make the correct ruling? I would of kept the points on the board and make an adjustment to the .08 seconds remaining for a throw in for the other team.

Maybe on the driveway, or on the playground asphalt, but there are seldom do-overs, in interscholastic basketball.

I'm assuming that .08 means eight seconds.

I'm also asssuming that after the score the clock remained stopped for some reason (whistle, timeout, confusion, etc.).

Count the basket.

With definite knowledge (not a guess-timate) take time off the clock, give the ball to Team B, and let them run the endline.

With no definite knowledge, keep the clock at .08, give the ball to Team B, and let them run the endline.

Note: I always keep a mental countdown clock in my head during the last seconds of a period.

5-10 Timing Mistakes

ART. 1 The referee may correct an obvious mistake by the timer to start or stop the clock properly only when he/she has definite information relative to the time involved. The exact time observed by the official may be placed on the clock.

ART. 2 If the referee determines that the clock malfunctioned or was not started/stopped properly, or if the clock did not run, an official’s count or other official information may be used to make a correction.

Quite sure he meant 0.8 seconds to start the play, catch and shoot.

For me, I would have a mental countdown clock in my head. If I got down to a pause immediatley before one second and the ball had not been released, it would not have counted. Yeah, I would be off by about a tenth of a second, but my brain isn't accurate to tenths of a second.

What I would do in maroonx's situation?

Not sure, hopefully my partner, myself, and the table could come up with some type of resolution, maybe with a truely educated estimate (which really isn't definite information)?

One thing that I do know is that there would not be a do-over.

Immediately is the key word in this situation.

Immediately
1. at once; instantly; straight away; at once; right away; right now
2. without any intervening time or space

Nice.

Look up "do-overs" in the dictionary and you'll see this game mentioned.
