Ah, you're one of them "common sense" people. Better to make sure the participants don't feel bad. Wouldn't want that. But, how could you make the decision that one team scores a basket without any time coming off the clock? That's just not fair. The only fair way is do the whole play over. Wouldn't want one team to feel bad that they might not have had the same chances as the other team. That's the only common sense thing to do.

You're probably one of the parents that complained their kid wasn't getting a fair shake when facing this pitcher in baseball:
