btw I'm not saying the foul may or may not have been good, just questioning what he said about B1 being at a disadvantage. I do agree there are times the game needs a whistle that has little to do with advantage/disadvantage.

What is A2 going to do with B1's spot in this situation? Deflect the ball to the baseline after it goes through the net? If there's no advantage then let it go, unless, as I said before, it's more of a takedown and it's going to make the game end ugly.

Rob -
Just my two cents worth since I wasn't there. In the college arena it probably would have been let go because of the score, time remaining, and the fact that players at that level are usually allowed (and can handle) more contact. With that said, at the high school level (and yes in our area we have AAA schools playing at very high levels) I started including a statement in my pre-game that we would referee the game all the way to the ending buzzer. I included this because I have had more than one game go to pieces in the waning minutes and seconds because the officiating got loose after the game had been decided and there was still time on the clock.

So here is my next timeout conversation: Hey girls, we're down by ten with 8 seconds left...Molly, you get a free shot at B2 without a chance of a foul call. I don't think so....I agree with OP's call |

Some of us (including me) would say no regardless of the time left on the clock, since the ball went in. To take that as justification to tell your players to go out & assault someone is silly.

If there is no advantage gained (which there isn't if the basket is good), then let it go. Unless it's a pretty significant foul.
I don't like to let anybody get away with a significant foul in the waning seconds just because the game is about to end. That's just giving somebody a free shot at his opponent.
