Butler-Gonzaga finish

[JugglingReferee]

When I watch the video, I hear the buzzer at 0.8 or 0.7 seconds remaining. Anyone else experience that?

Seems that the buzzer did sound before the light on the backboard lit.

Absolutely. Though it didn't occur to me till you mentioned it.

As for the push to create the steal, that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this, before I even visited the board today.

Regarding the potential player-control foul, by rule, the OP is right, for sure. Sadly, that's one of those things that's just "part of the game" these days.

I noticed that too. I tried to freeze it as best as I could and it looked like the horn went off AND the red light came on with about 0.5 on the clock. Very odd.

Of course, no "good official" would've ever called the travel on the Butler inbounds play, either...

Are you looking at the clock above the backboard, or the "clock" on the espn score display at the bottom of the screen? Only the former counts -- the second is just there for information. If you watch a game closely, you can see the "espn clock" reset several times during the game to match what's correct.

Even in arenas where this is syncronized, there's a slight but appreciable delay.

During most telecasts, the official clocks and the one on TV overlays are off by .1-.3 seconds. One can really see this during NBA games when the shot clock gets under 5 seconds when tenths of a second are on the clock.

As to the clip, I think the sound and video are a little bit off sync. Oh and this is still not a foul...NBA, NCAA, HS, MS, etc.

I was looking at the clock on the ESPN display which, in this case, happened to be one of the scoreboard clocks. I know there's a bit of a lag in the arena but it shouldn't be that bad.

If you saw the broadcast and the angle from under the basket (camera under the basket to be specific), you could see the other end's light and it looked like the ball was out. BUt the light did appear to start to come on with .01 on the shot clock display version of the game clock. I have not seen this in highlight versions.

Peace

I saw that too.

Anyone think that Jones traveled before releasing his try?

There was some picture last year where the clock on the back board was zero and the clock on the facade of teh second level in the arena was x.

It can happen.

The audio/video is out of sync. Just listen to the announcers...they are reacting to the basket before it goes through the basket.
