Jurassic -- you are entirely wrong about counting FT's depending on when they are shot! When the horn sounds to end the quarter (and there are no lingering/outstanding penalties to be administered), the QUARTER IS OVER! Any subsequent action is considered to be a part of the next period/quarter. When the FT's are shot, either before or after the haltime/quarter intermission does not dictate how you count the points. Either it happens before the quarter is over OR it happens after the quarter is over. There is no middle ground - the clock running or not running in between quarters doesn't make a difference one way or the other.

Are you saying that after the 4th quarter horn sounds in a tie-game and you slap a T on someone, that becuase the FT's are mistakenly administered prior to the clock operator beginning the 60-second time-frame, a team will lose because the made FT's have to count in the 4th quarter? Game Over? Not a chance.............

In my previous post, OF COURSE the score dictates wether FT's should be administered at the end of the 4th quarter - I assumed that everyone here would know that (maybe I shouldn't assume based on previous posts).
