My GUESS is that since he had time restored on the clock he used the game clock to determine 5 seconds had elapsed. Not sure when he thought the 5 seconds should have started but it appears he started when the ball hit the floor after the made basekt.

That is what I think he did.....but none of that makes it right.

That's what I think he seems to be indicating with his hand gestures. But, wow, that's horrible.

Looks like the younger guy did his best to try to straighten the bozo out, but the bozo just got more forceful with his hand gestures. Not much the younger guy could do right then and there on the court. Hopefully that video has been turned in to their assignor...

Except that the commentator said 7 seconds were left and he had it reset to 3 seconds. Someone would have made my block list immediately after the game.

After seeing this I don't feel quite as bad about last week when my partner called a foul from lead on a shooting foul on a 3 pointer at the top of the key.

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

I thought they were going to start fighting right there on the court. That is horrible.

At least there is video evidence if EVER to pull an official off a varsity list. This is not just a minor screw up but a pretty big one IMO.

Me too. This pisses me off the more I watch it. I would have told him on the court that I'm reporting him to the assignor, and I would have called the assignor the minute we got in the car.
