Remote Control Scoreboards?

I think that's the whole issue, here, Tony. What is the "clock"? Is it the time showing on the scoreboard, or is it the time showing on the timer's console?

I havent' seen one of these "remote control" clocks, (and I hope I never do), but it seems to me like the timer stopped the console with .2 left, but the scoreboard kept going for a while.

But there's nothing here to support any of that, Bob. I haven't read anything in the rule book that tells me that the console at the table is the official clock. There's also nothing in the orignal post that says the clock was stopped improperly. All we have here is some funky device that backs up and adds time to the clcok every time it stops.

If the horn sounded and the officials ruled the clock stopped properly, this game is over. once they're in the locker room, it's too late to come back out and resume the game. Imagine the sh*t that would have hit the fan if the losing time had hit a baskt and won.

Fun thread, but I'm outta words!
