Neat InBound Play

[KJUmp]

Nice job on the post Nevada...it explains (I guess) most of what happened in the sitch.
Am I correct in saying that the missing piece of information to all of us following this bizarre play is...why the whistle that occurred somewhere between 1.1 and 0.7?
What are the chances (if any) of any explanation of the play coming from the Big East?

I have watched the Zapruder film on this many times and am convinced that the man with the umbrella standing in section 102 blew the mysterious whistle.

A few questions on this play that maybe some of you experts can help me with and maybe will just remain a mystery and can't be answered.

1. Why didn't they reset everything regardless of whether the whistle came from them or the stands? Wouldn't that have been the proper thing to do?

2. Why didn't they go to the monitor to check the time?

This link is much clearer, and sound is better. You can almost hear someone calling for a timeout at the same time as the whistle blows. It also looks like everyone stops moving at that point. It also looks like Pitino is getting up to get his players together for a timeout.

I think the SH kid thought a timeout was called, stepped on the court to go to his bench, then realized play was still live. So he instinctively threw the ball to the ref, who seems to be asking for it.
