Last second shot - good or not?

[RunninRef]

Thanks for your interpretations of this crazy ending to a "church ball" game. My refs did what they thought was correct. Neither with a lot of experience and I didn't want them to be sooooo dependant on me that they will be looking over their shoulder each time they make a call to see "if" I approve or reject.

I'm right with most of you of how the game could have been improved the in the last 1.7 seconds. I would have Dis-allowrd the three point shot / take the clock back to the 1.7 second mark / assess the T to the player who left and entered the court without permission / his 5th foul - have him "officially" sit down on the bench / let team A shoot the T shots / and input the ball into play.

Hey, who knows.... team A could have hit the 2 T shots, inbounded the ball and team B steals the ball and shoots another 70 foot 3 point shot to tie the game 43-43!!! OVERTIME!!! You gotta love the game!!!

The game turned out OK - even without everything being perfect! I felt bad for the kid that made the 3 point 70' prayer. His coach should of had his arm around his shoulder telling him what a great kid he is and letting him know a little about sportsmanship - and maybe about the rule of leaving the court. Instead the coach was screaming to count the 3 point bucket of course.

One of my Association partners turned me on to the site. Where have I been all these years???? Great forum to vent and gain some more insight from all over the country.

Again, thanks for your input. I'm hooked!!!!!!
