canuckref's signature is also correct in that many officials anticipate a foul in this situation, and blow the whistle, only to realize to late that it wasn't a foul.

Last night I was watching the regional final (winner goes to quarter-final).

A1 drove toward the lane, picked up his dribble, had a big, extended-arm fake to his right, took his last step and then brought the ball back in to elevate and shoot a "runner" as Lead official blew the play dead and singalled a travel. Right after the whistle ended, A1, in continuous motion, put the ball in the hole.

Lead then choked on his Fox and realizing what he had done, and counted the basket. Then, Lead realized what he did with that and cancelled the basket.
....Lead ended up explaining stuff to both coaches separately and the game was continued on the end line at point of interuption.

It's hard to work this game with our hands around our own throats.
