Gave my first ever T last night...

Men's league last night: blue has the ball with seconds left in Q2. "8... 7... 6... 5..." And then there's a steal by white. "4... 3-2-1." White jacks up what would be described as a 4-point shot.

Tweet. Unsporting.

For what?

Simulating the end of a period.

I'm confused. I thought it was the end of the period.

When white stole the ball, blue continued to count down, but instead of "3... 2... 1..." with the ellipses representing 1 second of elapsed time, they went "3-2-1", all within about a half-second.

That caused white to shoot the ball prematurely, when in reality, they still had ~ 2 seconds left.

There is no visible clock in men's leagues games here; the league doesn't get to use the HS clocks. They play running time 25min halves and stop clock in the last 2 minutes if the gap is < 16 points.

If that warrants a "T", then I think you are looking for trouble.

That might be true in other games, but not men's league games here.

Do you think maybe you left out a little bit of info in your first post?

I thought about it, but I am working at the same time, and was hoping that the ... and - would show the difference in the counting down. Even with a visible clock, there is no need to attempt to deceive. Just mho.

Must be a Canadian thing.

Or is it Canadien?
