3.1 to 2.0?

[seioaump]

Just because ball breaks plane of out of bounds, it is not OOB until someone who is out of bounds touches it, or it lands on the court out of bounds. Therefore, the clock wouldn't stop till it hits the guy at the scorers table!!

A player can leave the court from being in bounds and save a ball that has crossed the plane.

Another instance of commentators NOT knowing the rules.

The problem that I have with this is that it appears they just made up the 2.0number. I don't see how they came up with definite knowledge that 1.1 seconds came off the clock. Did they play it in real time and use a stop watch? I don't think so, and even if they did, I don't think that is allowed by rule. As the announcers said, "they are just going to have to come up with a number." I think that is exactly what they did.

Actually you could see the official on the right with a stopwatch. CBS showed the highlight in real time twice (I think that's why it took so long, CBS kept showing it in slow-mo)

Oh wait, the announcers said they needed to come up with a number? Okay. Good to know. Why did the officials even watch the video? Why didn't they just go ask the announcers? That would have saved time.

EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT THE ANNOUNCERS DON'T KNOW THE RULES.

And yes, if you were watching the TV, you would have seen the officials with a stopwatch.

They used a stopwatch. You can see it in his hand while reviewing.
