Nice Ending

And that clock definitively started late. No way she can throw the ball off an opponent, catch and shoot like she did within .7 seconds.

[SNIPERBBB]

If you try to pause it a few times, the girl catches the ball with .7 still showing on the clock, it hadnt started yet. The ball reaches the halfway point to the basket with .1 showing

Yes, the clock started a little late. It doesn't move until the thrower catches the ball, when it should start upon contacting the opponent's back. However, the timer did a decent job as he actually starts the clock prior to the Trial chopping. The Trail doesn't attempt to chop when the ball is thrown into the opponent.

I'd say the timing error is at most 0.2 seconds. That would have made the validity of the try extremely close to call.

BTW is that one of the game officials at the table picking up her jacket following the ending or perhaps she was an alternate official sitting at the scorer's table.

Conference playoffs, so that was an alternate official.

Well, Ive looked at it repeatedly and i say count it. its not but .1 second off from when it touched the girls back to when the clock starts. Human error/Reaction time is all part of basketball. Nice shot btw.

I have never seen a stand by/alternate official at the table without their CCA jacket on...strange.

I would guess closer to .3. Even if we go with .2, that leaves .5 left on the clock, and IMO she wouldn't have gotten it off in time. She shoots a regular jump shot and with .5 seconds left, there simply isn't time to do that...not with her jump shot.

I'm not familiar with 3-man. Is the trail supposed to be mirroring the lead's chop? The lead is counting with his left hand and his right is at his side. He then moves out of the camera range or is partially blocked from view so I can't see if he does a chop with his left hand, too. I don't see him do one with his right. As you say, the clock started before the trail does his.

Rocky (or someone else who knows), in the woman's game does the C have the clock in this situation? I'm asking because the L nodding his head caught my attention. Although this isn't the case, what if the C is saying the basket isn't good?

The last time I checked, it's always the T, regardless of the tableside, in MCAAW mechanics. If they've changed that, someone will be along to tell me I'm full of it.

These are both women's college mechanics. First, in 3-person the T mirrors the L's chop on all endline throw-ins in the front court (actually, this is the same in NFHS as well). For the L, in NFHS, you hold up one hand to get ready to chop in time, while showing the count with the other hand. In women's college, you count and chop with the same hand. This is definitely only a college mechanic.

I used my stop watch repeatedly and consistently got a reading of 0.90 - 0.95 seconds from touching B's back to A releasing. I bet PTS would have been better.

[NoFussRef]

At first it looked like one official is mirroring the L. Then I see that the L is showing his 5 count, and the official in the foreground has the chop. I don't know if it is possible or not for a player to bounce it off defender, get inbound, and shoot in .7secs.

What I do know is that the official was a lil slow on his chop, and then the clock was a lil slow getting started. I am wondering if it happened so quickly he didn't realize what the in-bounder had done. Either way, the shot was released before the horn/light and they ruled it a good basket. Definitely an interesting ending.
