two interesting summer league things

[A Pennsylvania Coach]

First, the boring one from last night. Both officials had whistles at the same time. The first one to speak up calls a double foul off the ball. He reports them. Then the other one says he has a two-shot foul. He reports it. (The funny thing is both fouls on the opponents were on the same guy! Somebody must've mixed up a number.) Somebody from the other team is confused, and asks if there were three fouls on that play, and the official tells him there was. We shoot two for the shooting foul, then we go to the arrow and the opponents get the ball (at midcourt, not too sure about that).

Now, the interesting one from Wednesday. I wasn't a player, just a spectator. Team A misses a shot at the buzzer and it goes to overtime. (Meanwhile, I'm thinking that I'm surprised that these guys let a rec game go to OT.) Late in the OT, my assistant coach (who plays for Team B) shot faked, ducked under, and shot the ball. There was a whistle and the horn. The whistle was a shooting foul, by one of the most veteran officials around. There was no contact, according to my assistant coach. They put :01 back on the clock. My AC goes to the line and hits the first. Surprisingly, he makes the second. (I would've missed on purpose.) Team A calls timeout and then inbounds deep. My AC bats the ball out of bounds, but the clock never started! The officials leave the :01 up there, Team A inbounds baseline, and scores on a lob to go to the second OT!

Late in the second OT, Team B is down by 3 with 7 seconds left, so they foul. A1 misses the front end, and B1 (my AC) pushes into frontcourt and calls time out with 3 seconds left. Team A comes out guarding the three-point line, so my AC gets an inbound pass about 30 feet out and drains the three to force a third OT. Team A won in the third OT by two.

Comments? Especially on whether the officials could have/should have put that second back up, and whether they could have/should have left it up there after the deflection.
