Very well said, I agree 1000000%

To all who are saying you can't put time back on, lets say it's a closer game, 2 or 3 points, and the foul happens with 5ish seconds left. If time is never stopped, and no one notices it, and the horn goes off when you are reporting your foul, what would you do? Would you really not put any time back up there?? And yes, I realize the correct answer here is to never get to this point, because you should look at the clock in this situation, as I'm sure most of us probably do, but if it somehow gets missed, then what?

Yes, I had a count. Next question.
