Late in the first overtime of a boys varsity game with the score tied at 47, team A (Visiting team) inbounds the ball from the far end line with 1.94 seconds left on the clock. Instead of throwing it directly inbounds, they toss to another player out of bounds, who then makes the throw in. The interesting part is that the clock keeper turns on the clock when the first throw in to the other out of bounds player was made, thus screwing up (actually the official screwed up by chopping his arm down indicating that the clock should start). The problem is on the thrown in, there was a foul on the defense, which should have been double bonus for team A, thus shooting two with the chance to win. Since the home clock keeper and official screw up however, the visiting team didn't get that foul and the officials simply put the time back on and let the play commence again. Thoughts?
