I think we all agree (and so does the NFHS according to previous statements) that timing accuracy is only relevant in the closing moments of a period/game....no one cares about 2-3 seconds with 6:15 left in the 2nd quarter. Furthermore, no one cares about 3-4 seconds in the closing minute of a 30 point blowout. So, all relevant situatoins are end-of-quarter or end-of-game when the score is "close".

Let's pose a play:

11 seconds to go in a tie game. Throwin for A goes to A1 in the backcourt but the clock doesn't start. A1, under pressure, has the ball in the BC for 8 seconds when A1 completes a pass to an open/unguarded A2 just across the division line. After a moment, B2 obtains a guarding position within 6' and agressively and successfully contains B2...the count gets to 4 when A2 passes to a cutting A4 who dribbles twice and lays the ball in.

What's the call?

1. Count the bucket....if so, what next?
2. Go to OT.
