Can foul be called with 0:00?

Clause... get it? Claus!

re: irish presidents... 11/22 and prior was an excellent chance to get education about our last freckled redheaded president, what happened to him and how the world really works. I'll just leave it at that.

You, or your partner, look up at the scoreboard to see 0:00:05, which keeps running down until the horn sounds. Reset the clock to 0:00:05, report the personal foul, and let A2 shoot free throws, with rebounders on the lane lines, if Team A is in the bonus. Obviously, the half has not ended yet, you still have 0:00:05 to play. And in a similar situation, if there had been only 0:00:03 on the clock, then players would not have time to take a shot (try), but would only have time to tap the ball in the remaining time.

by 0:00:05 I think you mean 0:00.5. A half a second. And yes the situations you describe all make complete sense. Yesterday I had free-throws with .3 remaining. Was fully aware that we could only have a basket on the rebound if tipped. FT was made, ball inbounded... I get to two on my backcourt count before I had to blow the whistle and end play. Lets just say my table crew for the game was not top notch!!

If the ball was caught, you end it there and don't wait for the horn.

... thought I would give the table crew a second to get it right. I mean this guy was sweating harder than the kids on the floor earlier in the game when he could not reset the clock to 8 minutes.

In bet he wasn't sweating as much as Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. was when he tried to reset the hourglass once. The sand kept sticking in the little hole between the two glass globes. Speaking of which. Where is Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.? Didn't they play any football in Ohio yesterday? I hope that he didn't lock himself in his attic. It must be pretty cold up there.

2008-09 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 6: Team A is trailing by three points when A2 attempts a three-point try at the end of the game. A2 releases the try and is fouled in the act of shooting. The whistle for the foul is followed immediately by the horn sounding and the clock at 0:00. The try is unsuccessful. RULING: The officials are permitted to put time back on the game clock if there is definite knowledge of the correct time or information relative to the time that elapsed after the whistle blew and before the final horn sounded. If time is put back on the game clock, A2 will attempt three free throws with the lane spaces occupied. If the officials cannot determine the amount of time remaining or determine that there is no time remaining, A2 will attempt three free throws with the lane spaces cleared. (5-10-1; 8-1-3)

If this would have happened in the 4th quarter under the score you previously gave, no free throws would be awarded per rule 10-6 under penalties 1e (page 66 in the NFHS book).

Fixed it. Thanks. Good posts from a thirty-five post Forum newbie. And I was just kidding. I got it. Good one. I'm not color blind, but I'm IAABO, and some on this Forum claim that IAABO stands for, "I Am A Blind Official".

Good idea. And I'm not a real bigot, I just play one on television.
