Just a thought.
Since the officials screwed up and administered the FT's before intermission, or during it if the clock had already started, could it be argued that the administraion of FT's did in fact make this a part of the second quarter?

That is EXACTLY what I am saying! The officials mistake, not the rules made the FTs for the T part of the 2nd quarter. Therefore, we have to go to the arrow to start the 3rd.

Maybe this is apples and oranges...but the final score is not approved untill the officials leave the confines of the court.
The officials had not left the confines of the court for the intermission...could Nevada argue that since the officials had not left and administered the FT's, that this would all be activity during the second quarter?

Just adding a little fuel...

It wasn't the argument that I originally picked, but you may have something here as one of the Referee's duties is to verify the score at the end of each HALF. So if they shoot the FTs then go to the table and pick up their jackets, switch the AP arrow, and verify the score, I think that you have to consider the points if any from the FTs to be part of the 2nd quarter! It will be interesting to see what JR says about that. I'm sure he'll shoot it down somehow.
