Oh Boy! we have a mess!
 
Tie game at 51. A1 shooting a 1 and 1 with 4.1 left. B1 that fouled has 5 and scorers table is trying to get the officials attention (without the horn), the officials don't hear it and the free throw takes place. A1 misses but scorers table doesn't start the clock (as they are still trying to get the officials attention for the fifth foul). The ball is tipped to A2 who pump fakes and goes back up and scores. Then Officials realize there is a problem.

What do you do?

Did the B players make any attempt to rebound? (Stalling for time while I think it all over...)

Unless you have definite knowledge of how much time should have come off the clock, you count the goal, notify B coach and B1 that he has 5 and has to be replaced, and you put the ball in play w/ B inbounding under the basket with the ability to run the endline and 4.1 on the clock.

If for some reason an official had a count on, you can subtract as many seconds as he counted if he counted until the error was recognized.

Unless an official has definite knowledge how much time should have come off, the score definitely counts.

If an official does know how much time should have come off, then that definite knowledge can be used to take time off the clock. It can be used to determine if the score counts or not.

Edit: replace the fouled out player and continue with B's throw-in.

Remind the table to tell the official when a player has their 4th foul. This means that a player with 3 fouls needs to be of importance to the table.

Rainmaker,
All players were aware of the Free-throws and made an attempt to rebound.

I agree but you have definite knowledge that time should come off the clock. Put 3.8 on the clock. A minimum of 0.3 was needed to shoot.

I don't believe the 0.3 required for a shot can be used. What I'm not certain about is if an official had a count of 2 for closely guarded and then the shot went up, obviously taking more time, could they take 2 seconds off?

I've always been under the impression that an official must know the entire duration to have definite knowledge and make any change, but I can't find a citation that the official must have definite knowledge of the entire period of time consumed...

According to a senior official running a training scrimmage this offseason, you can take off whatever time that you have definite knowledge of, even if it's only part of the interval. So if you have a throw-in in A's backcourt and A dribbles up the court, crosses midcourt, and takes a shot and the clock fails to start, you may use the backcourt count to take off fewer than 10 seconds.

I believe that 0.3 can be taken off but I've never faced that situation in a game and am not dogmatic on the point. To me, it constitutes definite knowledge by rule, but others see it differently.

definite knowledge
Thats the important info. It must be definite knowledge. the NFHS does not allow for estimating. It must be definite knowledge.

Yes, but definite knowledge of what? hbioteach makes a good point that if a shot is taken, then we have definite knowledge that at least 0.3 had to elapse.

If I have definite knowledge through a closely guarded count that at least 2 seconds came off, can I take 2 seconds off even if I stopped counting before the ball was dead and in reality more than 2 seconds came off?

What do you do?

Put 2.1 on the scoreboard B throw -in anywhere along endline.

How in the world do you put 2.1 on the scoreboard?

Huh?

Most clocks that display 1/10s of seconds can be set to 1/10s of seconds.

If not, set it to 3.0 and run it down (a real quick on-off will usually be 1/10 of a second -- and I don't need any comments from Padgett on that statement)

Can you say 1972 Olympics? :D

Do it over until the team you like wins. :D

He meant, "Why in the world do you put 2.1 seconds on the scoreboard?" There was initially 4.1 seconds. Why take 2 seconds off?
