clock stop end of game question?

[lpbreeze]

I saw a shot made with a little over a second to go. When does the clock stop then? Once it goes through the net? hits the floor? Time ran out and the game was over but I was thinking perhaps if the clock had stopped there would be .5 seconds left.

Wouldn't that lead you to believe he's talking about a college game?

The clock stops when the ball clears the net, lpbreeze.

It depends on the rule set used in the game. In FIBA the clock should be stopped as soon as the basket is made, i.e. when the ball goes through the net (well, also if it stops in the basket, a very rare event nowadays), if we are in the last two minutes of the fourth period or overtime.

I believe that in NFHS the clock doesn't stop on a made basket.

Really? I thought that trapezoidal ball was always getting caught in the net.

That's envy because we know more geometrical figures than you.

Do you know how to compute the area of a trapezoid (in the US sense, I learnt now from a dictionary that the meanings of trapezoid and trapezium are exchanged from British English to American English ) if the bases are given in yards and feet and the height in inches?

ok I'll bite.

convert everything to the same unit of measure, then use the formula:

Altitude (A) x the average width ((b1 + b2) / 2)

Well, it's the conversion the problem, isn't it? Something like "how many feet in a mile?"

I learned to call the geometric figure a trapezoid, and that the trapezium is a muscle in the palm of the hand.
