Rule 2-2-4--"The jurisdiction of the officials is terminated and the final score has been approved when all officials leave the visual confines of the playing area." No brainer. There's no rule saying OT can be played after all of the officials left the court. |

This is only a guess because the OP is pretty confusing. Maybe the OP can come back and clear some things up for us. |

Too late, imo. The 61-60 running score is official. |

It does sound like to me that the final score was approved with one team winning, and after the officials left someone went through the books and found an issue. The score in the official book when the officials left is the final score.
Remember running score is the official score. I know it is hard to get that right and check it at the end. I guess it took them several minutes to compare running scores that Lets see running score in Official book shows 60-61 (example) Visitors book shows 60-61.... No brainer that is the score, game is done. How does anyone know that the running score was not in fact right but that someone added missed a FT, or only marked 2 for a player that was scored a three in the running score It does not matter what the players totals equal up to.... Once again I will get on my soapbox... We hear of these plays over and over again. Where are the officials doing their job during the game? At half when we go to table, if I am R, I usually ask if the books match and ask them outloud if the score is XX to XX (what ever is on the board) If it is a close game you know there are going to be a bunch of timeouts. At every time out I will always ask what the score is and verify it is correct. I make sure the visitor's book agrees. We have to check. A couple of weeks a go I had a close game (2 points) and we had 6 or 7 timeouts in the last 3 minutes. We checked at every time out. Then We as a crew talked noting that the book and scoreboard all matched... Talk, communicate, and verify |

Another reason why, in closely contested games that are nearing an end, it is worthwhile for the R to go to the table during a timeout (and there are always timeouts in the last few minutes of close games) and try to make sure that everyone is in agreement. |
