Yeah, I'm not a rules expert, but I think the applicable rule says that there are only a few explicit situations when you can add time back to the clock. This wasn't one of them, so he was wrong. I'm just guessing that no one ever contemplated this situation before, that you probably should be able to put time back on the clock, but the current rules don't allow for it. Maybe they should... but they don't.

As for the TV angles -- they did show us three.

One was too far away, and too low. The second should have been the best -- it was from midcourt high -- but unfortunately, there was another player completely in the way.

The third angle was the best, but still not very good. You could see the foot and the line. It looked like the toe was right up to it, and you could not see any light floor space between the two. On the other hand, you couldn't really see whether that toe was actually on the line -- in part because it was from a fairly low camera angle (and it was on Fox, which seems to have crappier cameras and angles than ESPN, CBS.)

I believe that's what they were talking about, but I'm not totally sure. It is possible that they had some additional view that was never shown on TV.
