End of overtime video
 

From Friday night: Tie score, end of OT, 3-man crew...

Here's the video.

I remember speaking with that accent. Hard to tell on the contact as to whether or not it was incidental or not, or before the horn or not. Sounded like the horn was still going off when the push occurred, but whether or not it was the echo of the horn, is hahd to tell.

Horn definitely went off before the contact occurred. Didn't really seem that close to me. I will say that if there wasn't a horn before the contact, I would have judged that contact to be a foul.

I think I hear horn before or so close Iwould not be calling foul here, It would take an absolute 100 plus percent here to put someone on the line like this.

First thing I wold do is get coach back....

Agree, Horn before contact
 

Assuming the table was consulted if there was any question as to the end of the quarter/period. If there's disagreement, it goes to referee's decision.


Case 2.13

The signal to end the fourth quarter cannot be heard by the officials. The table officials disagree as to whether the ball was in flight during a try for field goal or if a foul occured before the ball became dead.

The final decision shall be made by the referee , and unless he/she has knowledge to alter the ruling, the goal shall count if it was successful and the foul shall be charged and penalized.

Well that's one way to avoid a second OT. Not a good way, IMO.

It would be a cold day in he'll before I would consult with a table in a regular season game where those people are hired by the home school, work at the home school, and are probably rooting for the home school (not openly, but still).

I realize it's a lot different when we are on the floor instead of watching a video, but I honestly didn't think that play was particularly close. Seemed to me that the horn clearly sounded prior to the contact. Clearly a foul, but after the horn. Tough situation for the crew.

What I don't know is how the other two officials missed the horn. I can excuse the lead a bit because he's concentrating on the impending contact. But the C on this play has last second shot responsiblitiy and should be listening for the horn. This is also why I've been thought that all officials have an opinion on a last second shot. In this case, the trail should have also been waiting for the horn in my opinion. Those two should have been able to talk the lead out of administering free throws due to the period ending.

Yes, I agree. It wasn't intentional or flagrant. Go to the second OT. Ignore the contact.

I will have to re-watch it. We often will sound the whistle to signify the end of play for the quarter. Especially if a shot goes up, time expires and there is no way for the try to be successful. If the C comes out with a whistle, then if the L is late with his, then the contact get ignored.

Okay, I re-watched it. If C would have come out with a whistle with his hand up at the horn and with the attempt not getting even close, it would have prevented the call by L from being made. Or at least it should have.

I saw a senior official who called the foul meeting with two junior partners and telling them how it was going to go down. Didn't appear to be a consultation: he doesn't look at them and ask, "what did you see?."

Bainsey, were you one of the officials?

Gardiner is covered by another association. Central Maine Board, I believe.

I don't understand why the calling official reports the foul, then brings his partners together, only to report the foul again. Does he want more face time with the coach at half-court?

I always include a situation like this in my pregame. If we have a last second shot, all three of us need to have an opinion. If I'm the trail official here, I am more concerned about offering my information (the horn sounded before the incidental contact) to the lead official than getting the ball from the player in the middle of the court.

The C must not know when the horn sounded (although he would ultimately be responsible for the last second shot). He is about two steps away from cutting the lead off and saving the day, when he decides to just stand there and watch.

LOL You think I would have posted this here if I were?

As 26 mentioned, this is a different part of the state. Different board. (Although I have no idea what "accents" he's talking about. I didn't hear any. :D)

I have two questions, though:

*I believe the rules say that an official must be positive that a shot is released too late to call off a try. That is, if you're not sure whether a shot is released before the horn, it's still a try. If this is the case, does this mentality also apply to fouls before/after the buzzer?

*We talked about intentional and flagrant fouls after the buzzer. What about technical fouls? If you have dead ball contact after the buzzer, is it possible to call such contact, and shoot free throws at the beginning of the next period?
