Sorry I didn't get back sooner, been busy with games. The clock had, in fact, expired. As I read the posts and think about the situation we probably should have put 1 second back on the clock because the foul occured before the clock expired.

Be that as it may, from what I gather, if, in fact, a technical had been called on the coach AFTER time expired the resulting FT would start the OT. If the technical was called while order was being restored and I put 1 second on the clock, allowing the other team to shoot a FT and possibly win the game I would have needed an escourt out of the gym.

That being said, I saw the offended coach the next day while doing more games and he told me, though I don't think I believe him, that they had a video of the game and the FT in question and that I was 1000% right on the call and he apologized for his behavior. I thanked him and accepted his apology.

So, thank you all for your responses. You always see something or experience something in this game that makes you stop and think.

1000%? did you tell him you would be happy with 100%?:D

I was 100% sure, but I think he was feeling foolish for his behavior. His comment at the time was, "How can you do this to me?" I told him the game wasn't about him. I was about the kids. So I think he was thinking about that. At least, I hope he was.

:D
I'll add that you can only put time back on if you know how much to put up, don't just guess at 1 second.

So, if the foul occured before time ran out and the timekeeper didn't stop the clock, how much time would you put on, considering this was not the state-the-art timing equipment that counts down hundredths of seconds?

Whatever I saw when I looked up at the clock after the whistle sounded.

You don't guess. You can only restore the exact time which you observed.

If the clock doesn't show tenths and you don't see a 1 up there when you look, then you apply these:

"If a held ball or violation occurs so near the expiration of time that the clock is
not stopped before time expires, the quarter or extra period ends with the held
ball or violation."
"If a foul occurs so near the expiration of time that the timer cannot get the clock
stopped before time expires or after time expires, but while the ball is in flight
during a try or tap for field goal, the quarter or extra period ends when the free
throw(s) and all related activity have been completed."

Got it, thanks
