Good basket or not???

To piggy back off Mark, in the waning seconds of the game, R1 and U1 should have communicated who had last shot responsibility. The reason trail usually has it is because the goal and the clock are in his/her field of vision. If you go to a one clock gym, the pregame ought to cover how the official facing the clock has last shot responsibilty. Noise aside, you should have the clock in sight and verify remaining time at the shot especially in a loud game.

I try to keep a mental countdown to help me get the timing of the play. That way I have a small clue when the clock expires.

Also, you indicated you counted the basket. If you are not sure, don't count it and confer. Don't be surprised if U1 doesn't have a clue. He shouldn't be watching release on shot.
