Shot clock.

I see 0 ( ZERO) Hear the horn before the shot, I know that the LEDs are late, not my problem, no shot.

That horn you hear is for the shot clock (of which I'm surprised there aren't any lights for this as well...). The lights for the end of the period aren't late. And for that matter, lights ARE your problem because if you have lights in an NFHS game, it takes precedent for end of period versus the horn.

The shot clock isn't supposed to trigger the LEDs. That's part of the NCAA rule and since this happened on an NCAA court they're not hooked up that way.

Interesting...in the NBA, they have a single bar light on the backboard for the shot clock with all the lights coming on for the end of a period.

No shock there. Did the light (ahem) eventually come on for those who haven't picked up a rule book in 20 years?

Care to elaborate?

I've noticed that (flashing lights are cool ...) but when an NCAA game is played in an NBA arena that function has to be disabled.

One clarification to this, thanks to NCAA 1-19-4:

LED lights located around the shot clock may be used, but the lights shall only be activated for a shot-clock violation.

So you can have both but the game clock can only activate the LEDs on the backboard.

The shot clock went to zero and a horn for its expiry sounded. The game clock is not visible in the video.

Then the horn and LED went off for the end of the period. The ball had not entered the basket prior to the end of the period, so a dead ball passed through the basket. No points.

In a way it's too bad the rules say it shouldn't count. Stupidity should have a price.

Think he meant stupidity as far as the player.

As Adam suspected, I meant the player
