I'm not answering for RD, but I would start a count and when I get to 1, game over.

Same concept as if there were 3.2 seconds on the clock. I count to 4.

I love the snarkiness of people on this site who write things without clarifying and then think anyone who doesn't understand what they meant is a moron. I don't really care how many years of experience you have - if you can't express yourself very well, that's not my problem.

Exactly. Particularly if it was a defender. They would not be tapping the ball.

If there are two taps, the first one is not the one that scored....only the second tap does...still "A" tap that scores.

Fair enough. But what if you don't get to 1?

Not to be Snarky...but, if I don't get to one...then I didn't have a count that would help, in this situation.

I love this board for discussion just like this. I have changed my mind that a second player couldn't tap the ball and score. Nothing in the rules would preclude that from happening.

For me, I can get to "one thou" in my head and have enough information that .2 has passed.

Put me in the camp of not allowing a basket with two players tapping the ball with .2 showing.

With .2 on the clock, I'll settle for getting half way there. Do it in your head, or do an arm swing, up to you.

And if I don't get there, I'll go with the horn.
