UNC-Asheville/Syracuse End of 1st Half

[fortmoney]

Did anybody just watch the end of the half? I am in disbelief. That ruling seems to go against all common sense. I realize very few people on this forum have ever had this situation as it involves a shot clock, but here goes:

Syracuse has the ball with about 1.3 seconds more than the shot clock, left in the half. Got down to about 11 seconds remaining (therefore about 10 left on the shotclock) and they started their offense. Syracuse throws up a 3 with maybe :04 left in the half (3 on the shotclock), airballs, rebounded by Syracuse, and the player is fouled on a shot. Whistle is clearly blown before the shotclock horn goes off, but as the player is finishing the shooting motion, the shotclock buzzer blows as the ball is still in his hands. The lead counts the basket, officials confer at the table. They decide to not only wave off the shot, but not shoot freethrows! Do the shotclock and game both not stop as soon as the whistle is blown? Shouldn't they, at the very least, shot foul shots?

Sounds like you already know the answers to your questions. Guessing you're just surprised by the misapplication?

Just making sure it WAS a misapplication and not an odd rule. I definitely will default to 3 NCAA tournament officials' judgment over mine if I've never seen it before.

Actually, the shot clock buzzer never went off. Even after the whistle, the last 1.3 seconds elapsed from the game clock as well.

Yes, the shot clock buzzer did go off.

The game clock doesn't stop when the shot clock expires. It expires when an official blows his whistle, recognizing a shot clock violation.

There was no light at 0. The official blew his whistle with 1.3 left and the game clock never stopped. And I'm aware they don't use PTS in the NCAA tourney.

You are correct. The light did not come on and the game clock did not stop.

However, the shot clock buzzer did blow just after Corbett blew his whistle, while the ball was in the shooter's hand. I know, I watched over and over and still have it on my DVR.
