Depending on how long it took for all of this to happen, time should have ticked off the clock.

Rob,

That was the problem, It happened so quickly the clock didn't start, and I couldn't accurately tell how many tenths of a second may have elapsed. I did like the NBA idea of taking at least 3 tenths if the ball was touched and went out of bounds. That kind of agrees with the 3 tenths rule for a tip-in using NFHS rules.
