Correct. The game doesn't end just because the horn sounds. Regulation time ends when the horn sounds AND all activity from the 4th qtr. has ended.

clear this up for me then...
 

In this scenario, the T is assessed in the 4th and the kid goes to the line (if it was clearly post buzzer, the T should be assessed in OT, correct?)? If a player releases a shot before the buzzer, but, gets hit on the way down (still part of his shot) after the horn blows, wouldn't he go to the line as a continuation of his shot (ergo, part of the 4th qtr)?

If the player is fouled, horn sounds, T occurs, then the T is part of the 4th qtr. because the 4th qtr. doesn't end until the last FT is shot. The FTs determine whether we go to OT or not.

Only when the game is tied after all 4th qtr. activity do we have OT.

I am not understanding this that well. When does the coach yell this. The way I think you are saying this is that when A goes to the line that counts as the 4th quearter and hence any T's given before the last free throw are considered part of the 4th. Am I understanding that correctly?

Had this happen in a game this year....

Team A trails by two points with .3 to go in the game. Team B has ball for a throw in. Team B inbounds the ball right in front of Team A's bench - horn goes off - team B's player (in front of Team A's bench) bounces one to the rafters and say's "what now Bitc**s?"

What do you got ?

Yes, that's correct. The 4th qtr. does not end until all activity from the 4th qtr. ends. The horn does not end the 4th qtr. Onloy after the 4th qtr. ends can we determine if OT is required.

If you call a T on B, then A1 goes to the line to tie the game. If he misses the first or second FT, the game is over. If he hits both, you go to OT. Start the OT with a jump ball.

Absolutely. You're still on the floor, you have to make that call.
