Game Winner

I noticed the officiating crew was a college crew. Maybe they didn't know the rule? Who knows.

And, did you see the ball they were using? One of those balls with the deep channels all the way around the ball - resembles Scottie Pippen's bald head. Didn't think those were NFHS approved.

They aren't college guys, only 2 man crews here except for big schools. In fact I know the guy in the picture. We all wear the panel shirts. Also the Wilson Wave is the "Official Ball" during the playoffs. This is the only ball allowed during the playoffs.

looks like it was clearly through the basket before the horn in the video.

Yeah, he scored on his own team. I did a frame-by-frame. The ball passes through the basket with 0:01.6 on the clock. Poor kid.

Yup, I agree - ball was completely through.

Not only does the shot beat the horn, it appears there was still .9 secs left on the clock.

The people near the camera are hilarious:

"I'm about to get something amaaaaazing."
"ESPN"
"Yuuuup"
"Oh, they in a zone."
SHOT GOES IN
"Oh, he stooopid."

LOL

Why does the state want teams to use a different ball in the playoffs than during the reg season? Does anything go during the regular season and that is a way to make sure all teams use the same ball during the tournament?

During the regular season the home team is responsible for providing the game ball. This is the first year the Wave has been used. We were using the Reebok, but that ball isn't very good. Interesting thing. Last year home team didn't have any Reebok balls, had some Wilsons. visiting team said that the official ball was the Reebok, and we had to use it. Wanted to use his. I told him no, only during the playoffs. He got mad said we were wrong. So we started with the Wilson. He was up 22-0 before home team scored. Then the next day he called me and said we were right. He called the State Association.
