Terrible lack of awareness

Am I hearing things?

The light is for the shot clock expiring.

Which adds the hilariousness of the situation.

Maybe this video should go viral.

This is interesting in that I know 2/3 of the officials on this game. I'm actually working with one of them next Thursday.

I agree that there definitely should have been a shot clock violation, but I'd like to hear the story that they told to the coaches. I'll find out next week and report back what I hear.

Promise? Do they still a schedule?

Yes, I promise. The official I am working with has not been removed from the game (it's in a different league and a separate assignor than the game that we are viewing).

This is what I would term a "bad miss"

Let me throw this out there. Would you consider asking the timer and scorer what they saw on the play? If they both agree that it should have been a shot clock violation, can you then correct it, based on erroneously awarding a score?

They didn't erroneously award a score: the team scored a basket worth 2 points. They erroneously failed to call a violation, which is not a CE.

Jeez, it only took you 4 minutes to kill all the fun!
