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!
Because they're wondering what the hell the C is going to call. I don't blame them at all.

First time watching it was on my iPod Touch. I waived it off.

Now watching it full screen on my desktop, I'm definitely counting it. I wonder if there wasn't an AV timing issue though, because I clearly had the buzzer sounding just after the ball hit the backboard.

Count it and let the excitement of overtime decide the winner!

OK but the L is still standing there after the C signals and the camera pans back to him.

Were it my call without replay, I would have counted the basket! Not saying the official was wrong, but that's my opinion.

When I saw this video last night I was wondering why the C comes all the way tableside to wave that basket off? We don't do a lot of three man out here until postseason but table crews know to watch the center for his/her count it/wave off signal.To me coming all the way over and pausing before waving it off insults the table crew's intelligence and eyesight.Unless you are going to ask for help give the wave off/count it signal,grab your jacket (shake hands with your table crew if situation allows) and get out.Does anyone think he left his partners in a precarious spot if there was a storming of the court? I thought at speed he barely got it away before the clock struck triple 0.
