.3 Seconds on the Clock

[williebfree]

Greetings All!

7th grade boys; Home team (White) down by 3 pts, loses ball OOB on their baseline, .3 second on clock. Visitors (blue) call time out to set up inbound play.

After time-out Blue is administered the ball for throw-in. At count of 4, inbounder makes a high and long pass to his teammate at sideline (division line). B2 clearly steps on OOB line as he leaps to make the catch. (Whistle blown)

Ball is returned to the original throw-in spot (White baseline) for a White throw-in. White calls time to set up inbound play.

Additional information to consider in this equation:
With 2.3 on the clock at the end of the first half, the timer let the hometeam (White) inbound the ball, make a pass to another teammate, A3 makes a two bounce dribble around a defender and launched a 22 foot shot. Buzzer did not sound until after the ball made contact on the rim.
Bottomline: Anticipate VERY favorable clock "management"

Also, I have officiated games with the Blue coach and I know that he is aware that you cannot have a legal shot with .3 or less on the clock.
Bottomline: Anticipate a coach who could be very PO'd if this goes into OT.

What do you do in this situation?

I will post what we did after responses are made.
