Question

Mark,
I think we have all been in those positions where we say, "Oh, $#&%!"
Here's my story: I had a situation in a recent HS boys playoff game where Team A was inbounding the ball under Team B's basket with 2 seconds to go before halftime. A1's long pass down court was intercepted by B5. B4 requested a timeout when B5 gained control of the ball. I gave Team B the timeout they requested. However, when I looked up to the clock, it read 0.1. "Oh, $#&%!" I'm thinking. Needless to say, the coach of Team B was furious and thought I should have ignored the request. In hindsight, perhaps I could have. But my partner said there was about 1 second on the clock when I blew my whistle and 0.9 ran off due to the allowable lag time in Federation rules. When I blew my whistle, I really thought the Team B could have had a good chance at a last second shot. Fortunately, the timeout that the coach thought was "taken from him" didn't factor into the game.
Anyone else have some of these types of stories? Please share!!
