Wild End (Timing issue).

Ball tipped.Chop in. Clock doesn't start.
Delay. Start visable count. Blow whistle.

I know that at least 1.3 elapsed between tip at baseline and catch and release of shot at halfcourt. NO DOUBTS.

This is entirely a judgement call, and it sounds like you nailed it. And you had the fortitude to make the call. Well done, you!!!

How much did you explain to the coach? A tip signal and fleeing (to his POV) might not be enough, IMO.

How long do you stay around here?

Sounds like a potential mad house.

What criteria would you use to decide whether an explanation was needed.

Or, is your thinking... "Here is my call. The game has ended. Here is a visual clue as to what happened.... WE ARE OUT OF HERE. Leave the visual confines and put the game in the books."

How about your partner(s) are you going to spend time explaining anything or slowing down to make sure you AS A TEAM get it right, or do you just say "this game is over, trust me, let's get out of here"

In the original post it sounds like there was 100% confidence with the call at the time, but now some second thoughts.

I'd be interested in some war stories about this moment... the moment where you have to decide about whether to linger and explain (to partners or to coaches) or just 'get out of Dodge!'

No explination needed to coach. Ball clearly tipped, clock didn't start. Time should have expired during halfcourt throw in. Tip signal is enough. Game over.

As far as partner, only one clock in gym. As the lead the clock was behind him.
