Last second shot - good or not?

[BamaRef]

Church ball, it doesn't get any better.

I think the officials wanted to get it correct. Therefore, they asked you for you help. I think you wanted to do right by letting them make the call. IMO great decision.

As I read your situation, the player who shot the ball stepped onto the court after the ball became live. Therefore, a T should have been called with play resuming as specified by rule. Most likely, the game would have ended with team A winning. The officials decision was probably correct based upon the information and background they had. Most of these types of officials are not aspiring to the levels we aspire to. I think they look at it as doing a good deed, an act of service. If that is the case, I certainly will cut them the slack they deserve.
