I would and have. Definitely immediately go to the calling official and tell him that you are 100% certain that the shot was released before the horn.

I had this happen in a HS tournament game a few years back at the end of a quarter. The official opposite the table counted the basket and it was *very clear* that the ball was released after the horn. I was table side and the coach behind me said, "No way Brad!"

I immediately went to the calling official and said that the shot was late. He hesitated for a minute and went to ask our other official (Brendan / BBall_Junkie) for confirmation. Brendan didn't see it, but said, "If Brad says he's 100% it's 100%." and we disallowed the basket.

I looked at the coach who the call went against and he just nodded his head and went into his huddle (class act -- unfortunately he is no longer coaching!).

Bottom line --- Get it right!!!
