End-of-game, almost CE

MS-G last night. A rare 6:30 p.m. start for that level, but it was with a very solid partner, and it turned out to be the most fun experience so far this season, for both of us.

Team H up 1 point (after being up double digits late in the third), roughly a minute remaining. They stall, effectively for a while, until Team V knocks the ball loose. V-1 controls and takes the ball down the right sideline (I'm the new L), and throws up ridiculous three-pointer from the corner with plenty of time left. Clank. After a series of offensive rebounds and missed shots, my partner has a common pushing foul on H-2.

My partner reports, we switch. Four seconds left, V throw-in on the end line. Throw-in completes, but V can't get a good shot off. H-3 commits another common pushing foul. My partner reports, I switch back to L. I notice :00 on one clock, so I swing up to see the clock on my end (far side) with tenths of seconds. It reads :00.3. Okay, no catch and release allowed here, and Coach V wisely instructs to bat the throw-in at the basket. (He should've used a time-out here, come to think of it.)

My partner settles in at the T, and I'm about to administer the throw-in. *BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ* Timekeeper signals 1-and-1 for V.

Partner identifies the shooter. I administer. Small H crowd makes big noise. Clank, tip, buzz, game. Fun ending.

On the drive home, my partner wondered aloud if the timekeeper hadn't buzzed, would we still have a correctable error. As I recall, as long as we didn't leave the floor, I believe we still did: Ball became live on the free throw, dead on quarter expiring. The window would still be open, yes?
