Nice Ending

[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.

The trail is late chopping the clock in...and it is a very lazy chop...the leads chop is also lazy...this is the time when we need really crisp and clean mechanics.

So are you (and everyone else here) telling me that a throw in off the defender's back would be so expected that your chop would be right on that touch? I'd be fooling myself if I was confident I'd get that right on time.

Of course, the trail has the last second shot, so maybe as the T I would've been in tune better on that.

Either way, it was a great play by the thrower-in. We had one of these happen a few nights ago. I was the C opposite and I wasn't entirely sure the thrower-in established herself on the floor before retrieving the ball, but that wasn't my call to make (and I wasn't really looking there, either).
