Most awesome basketball play EVER!

APG:

Could be the officials were just looking at the game clock for guidance -- and no time had run off at all. This was apparently such a serious game, the ump never chopped the clock in on the jump -- never even raised his arm before the toss, in fact.

You're right that no one chopped the clock, but it did start at the right time. You can see it up on the right wall. It appears team A got possession in the backcourt at 7:59 on the clock and released the ball at 7:49 - if you count down the 10 seconds yourself because the clock doesn't show at that point.

I don't think the clock started right; it doesn't seem to start until A2 catches the ball in the BC.

Timing it by the video clock, the count gets to ten just before he releases the pass. My count is pretty close, but I'm not sure it's that perfect. I have called ten second violations with the pass in the air, but I probably hold off on this one; especially if it's a post-season charity game.

This play is actually from a small school league south of where I am located. I work a game or two down there most seasons. It is my understanding that the play occurred during a senior all star game, hence no back court count. I'm also assuming the schools found the officials as the assignor that sends me down there wouldn't have only sent a 2 man crew.

I may have had a flag on the play as the reciever in motion was moving forward on the snap.

I'm positive I heard a coach say "That's the wrong ball!"

15 yard live ball UNS foul.

I hoped you shut it down immediately.

You do in Fed, not in NCAA.

But what about not enough men on the line of scrimmage (or in the backfield...however they count it)?

No no, you're all wrong - this is indoor football, of course! Most indoor leagues are 8-man, but this is 5, OK, no problem. The key point is that in indoor, (Arena league and others), a single man in motion may be moving forward at the snap! And the center moves the ball when the player is even with him - rule states the snap must begin before the player is across the neutral zone. This is a legal play. :-D

Good point.
