If not, could someone explain what it was (a bit before my time).
BTW, I still don't quite understand why the clock started before the touching by A2.

Yes -- 1972 was the olympic incident.
The clock started early because the timer fu ^h^h messed up.
The problem now is how to deal with it (should the basket count? go to the arrow? how much time is left?).
It calls for 2-3 and game management. I think the original ref (Peter?) did fine.
