Buzzer Beater or not?

[SCalScoreKeeper]

Ok all,
Here's a buzzer beater or not scenario from Saturday in So Cal.Basket was ruled on the floor as no good-What say the esteemed members of this board? Note that the game is worked in three man which is a little unusual for a regular season contest in January.

No basket. I think his left hand came off the ball before the buzzer, but his right hand was still on it.

Wow, either your vision or pc monitor is exceptional.

I saw the same thing. Not sure how good my computer is, but that is what I saw too.

Peace

I'd score the basket.

It looked like it was in his hand to me.

The only thing I did not like was the way the basket was waved off. IMO it should have been waved off immediately. It just looks like he was thinking about it while running over to the table. Other than that it looks like he got it right.

Yeah and he left his partners on the floor while he bailed.

Here's a clip of the play slowed down:



I agree that the C opposite didn't have to come across the court to signal the basket was no good...in fact at first, I thought he was going to his partner to ask if he had an opinion on the play.

Score it. The closest I could get to freeze-framing had one hand on, one off with clock showing 1 sec still. Next frame advance had release and zeros. If there were tenths of seconds on clock, I'm guessing replay would show ball released before zeros.

Dude was guessing. And if you're guessing, count it. According to scoreboard, would've sent game into overtime.

Must've had a real hot date or some special dinner waiting for him...

Are you a coach? Cause your last line is nothing other than a rat/coach thing to say.

Whatever call is made there is the right call. It's that close, especially without tenths on the clock. The only thing I agree on is that the covering official must call that right away.

Or maybe he just had the stones to make the right call.

Good call, ball was still in the right hand when the buzzer went. As the others have said, I would prefer to see an immediate whistle. Why are the C's partners hanging around looking confused? Get off the floor!

I believe this is true. I believe you must have definite knowledge that a release was late.

When I looked at the embeded video, I was certain this was good, but after looking at the OP's link, I'm not so sure. The audio synchs on these uploads play a huge role in these discussions.
