Honest Home Timekeeper

[RookieDude]

...discussion we had in meeting last night.

Frosh. officials (3 whistle) had a situation they explanied to the group last night.

10 seconds left in the game. Home team (A) down by 3. Team A had a throw-in. A1 throws the ball in to A2. A2 shoots (after about 3 seconds...official had closely guarded count) and misses. Rebound aciton another 3 passes. A3 takes a 3pt. shot...ball goes in at the buzzer.

Tie game...right?

Well, official timekeeper "comes running on the court" and says she forgot to start the clock at the appropriate time.

Officials get together and determine that surely it seemed to take more than 10 seconds for all that action. (Nobody ever did look at the clock)

Officials waved off the basket...Visiting team won.
