I need your name and number

[OHBBREF]

My number is 4

Good call, know the rules, you cannot catch the ball with .3 or less on the clock, it has to be a tap as you said. Although as Derek Fisher showed us a few years ago, you can catch and release with .4 seconds. Does not matter how slow the clock operator is on starting that clock in this case. Unfortunately if you have an older clock system that doesn't deal with tenths of seconds you would count it.

I've been told "if the shot isn't going to count, start waving it off before it goes in!" Since you knew before the throw-in they could not catch & shoot, as soon as they catch it you can wave it off, horn or no horn.

Sadly enough, not only did I know this, I STILL have the cassette with the song.

Hey...
Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
You give me something I can hold on to
I know you'll think I'm like the others before
Who saw your name and number on the wall
Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Jenny, Jenny you're the girl for me
You don't know me but you make me so happy
I tried to call you before
But I lost my nerve
I tried my imagination
But I was disturbed

Jenny I've got your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny don't change your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

I got it (I got it), I got it
I got your number on the wall
I got it (I got it), I got it
For a good time call

Jenny don't change your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I've got your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Hey...
Jenny don't change your number
I need to make you mine
Jenny I call your number
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

Jenny, Jenny who can I turn to
For the price of a dime
I can always turn to you
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)
8 6 7-5 3 0 9 (8 6 7-5 3 0 9)

And, you would of course, give the name "Tommy Tutone".

I'm kinda partial to BR549.

[ILRef80]

Kind of a spinoff here: Do you guys ever mention the rule to the players or coaches, prior to the play? I've always discussed it with my partner(s) when we have a situation like the one in the OP, but I've never mentioned anything to the players or coaches. Would that help the situation or make things worse by getting involved in the strategy?

[JRutledge]

No, but I would remind my partners of this fact.

Peace

Agree with this. Game/situational awareness goes a long way in preventing problems.

This is somewhat similar to the South Carolina Championship where the officials got together and waved it off although with much more time on the clock. If official made a call right away, it might have just been another exciting finish.

Agree. We've been taught to not only wave off the shot right away, not waiting for it to go in, or not, but to also wave it off while turning away from the basket, toward the table.
