In your situation, you have additional, unusual activity that required your full attention between the whistle and the recognition that the clock did not stop. You also have a period of time that cannot be reliably estimated any closer than "a few seconds". You have not indicated any "other official information" that would help. So what can you do? Put up 13.1 and go with it. It's what I would do, and what I would argue that any of us should do. BTW, I have never argued that we should make a "wild guess". I have not suggested we use a "rough estimate". If you have no definite information, you cannot make it up. In most cases, I don't believe we can do any better than the time observed plus/minus an official's count. The OP is a pretty unique situation with a very high probability that a well-informed estimate would be right to within 1/10 of a second.

So what are we saying when we allow both 1/10 second precision and also nearest second (roughly) accuracy?

What if it were the same situation as above but the "skirmish" took a lot more attention to settle down and before you and your partner knew you heard the horn. Game over? |

Both or all 3 refs should not be in the middle of the fray. One official should always be standing back observing, which would include the time on clock.

I think we are all concur that looking at the clock simply by one of the officials constitutes enabling the clock to have time awarded to it. But in this situation at the end of a reasonably close game with you and your partner both focussing on the "skirmish more than the clock (which I think my assignor would prefer) let the game end?

That doesn't leave anyone for the clock (at least not right away). |

Without being flippant let's say you are working with a newbie like me. You go to break up the skirmish having pre-gamed the situation even and I botch it. I panic. I don't look at the clock and don't do my job with 3 or 4 seconds left the horn sounds. Do we end the game?

One of the things I'm working on is that it be 2nd nature to glance at the clock every time the whistle blows, regardless what part of the game we are in.

Clock-glancing doesn't come easy
I find "clock-glancing" a difficult thing to get into the habit of doing. If my partner blows his whistle for a foul, I am focused on helping him determine if the ball went in the basket, helping him make sure he has both the shooter and the fouler, making sure there's no extra-curricular activity among the players...then the clock. By the time I do all of these things first, I've often neglected to check the clock. I'm afraid if I move "clock-glancing higher on this priority list, I'll miss something else even more important.
Any suggestions for getting into this good habit? |
