Exclamation

Brian,

That is certainly the case under FIBA rules. Actually, the official end of the game is when the referees have signed the official scoresheet. Up until that time technical, unsportsmanlike and disqualifying fouls may be called. Once the scoresheet has been signed, the game is officially over.

Think about it, if the referee's whistle doesn't signal the end of the game, what does? The siren? If it is the siren, then if my team is up by one, and I foul a player as the buzzer sounds and he gets awarded 2 free throws, then isn't it game over and my team wins?
