Timer assumes ball goes out of bounds and stops the clock. A1 retrieves ball, clock restarts, but now A1 has enough time to go all the way down the court and score at the buzzer. Officials don't allow the score. Overtime.
If the clock had never been stopped, A1 would have shot a half court shot. Seems like Team A was penalized by the ruling, but Team B would have been penalized if the basket was allowed.
Refs let the players decide the game by going to OT. Not a bad decision in my book. Oh, this game was highlighted on Sportscenter.
