It was handed down following a game a couple of years ago in which the clock and the LED lights were not synchronized.

Do you remember what game this was? I only ask because there was a Missouri State/St. Louis game in December of 2005 where SLU won on a tip-in at the buzzer. They waved it off initially, then went to the monitor and counted it after video review, giving SLU the win. Only problem was the clock on the video was out of sync with the clock in the Scottrade Center. They couldn't see the clock or hear the horn. (There weren't LED lights on the backboard then)

About two days later, video came out showing the SLU player's hand still on the ball with the arena clock at zero and the clock from the video still at something like two tenths left. Gerry Pollard was the R in the game.

(If you stop that video at the right time, you can hear the horn go off right before you pause it and his hand is still on the ball)

Here's one more view.

(I believe there's a light on top of the shot clock that you can see go off while the ball is still on his hand)

This isn't sour grapes, as it was almost four years ago. Just wanted to get other opinions on it. (Although SLU's #15 does give a nice shove to MSU's #0 just before the tip-in)
