1pt game Team A scores to go ahead with 3 seconds left on the clock. Team A has not been warned for delay at any point during the game. After they make the basket they grab the ball and hold it. They don't allow Team B to get the ball and time runs out. Team A is the victor.

What would you do. A fellow official in our area called me this morning to ask what I would have done...I had a couple ideas.. I will post them later

ok guys and gals Have at it.... and happy feasting LOL

If Team B had a player available and I felt that A did it "unintentionally", delay of game warning on Team A. That is interfering with the ball after a goal whic is 4-46-3. Give Team B an endline-run throw-in. The only thing I'm not sure about is how much time to put back on the clock. If a Team B player was right there, I'd probably assume that he would have grabbed it immediately and give them 3 seconds.

If Team A did it intentionally, technical foul.
