Ok, I admit it. I forgot. But then I'm even MORE curious about FIBA would handle it.

My main point, however, was that saying that the table should've done its job doesn't really help in understanding how to deal with the situation.

Thanks Chuck and J.R. How should I word this? In all the years I have refereed, I have never seen this happen. I do not envisage it ever happening. The referees here are pretty much in sync with the table officials. The way I see it, after the foul is reported there would have to be a little bit of time before then and when the shots are attempted which will give the officials (table and floor ) time to decide what is to happen. We still have to check the scoresheet and make sure everything is OK before we sign it.Our signing of the scoresheet concludes end of game.

Nick,the original question was a hypothetical question. Chuck was wondering what you would do,under FIBA rules,if the play actually happened as described.

Nick, I agree, the table personnel and the floor officials usually are in tune on this kind of thing; and I agree that this is very unlikely ever to happen.

BUT. . . what do you do if it does happen? A disqualified player scores the winning points at the buzzer. You then notice when you check the scoresheet that he was disqualified. What would you do in that situation?

I say (under US high school rules) that you do nothing. Game's over. What would you do under FIBA rules?

I asked first,Chick!

As I'm sure Mrs. Jurrasic has mentioned to you, faster is not always better!!

In this situation, I agree that the game will be over. If this does happen, I can see the losing team filing a protest under the rules provided, and the outcome would then be decided by the protest or match committe as such.
