So I'll modify my earlier observation...

*If the L was calling a travel, fine. Come out with the signal, put time back on the clock if someone has definite knowledge and give Black the ball for a throw-in.

Regardless, the guy who blew the whistle - and it appears more and more it was the T - needed to look up at the clock right at that moment. One of the endline views shows 0.9-0.8 on the clock when the whistle sounded. Too much time to rule "it was too close to the expiration of time to stop the clock." When you're in that spot you have to know you need to look at the clock the moment you put air in your whistle.

This is a problem as well. Where are they rushing to? On the sideline view we don't even see the T until the C & L reach the opposite 3-point arc. This scenario was unique because only one team was going to be upset with whatever call was made. If it was a foul the Black team wasn't going to complain because all of those kids knew their teammate contacted the shooter. As I said earlier the White HC deserved an explanation - or at least more than a cursory "let's go" type of get together - especially with the gap between the whistle and the horn. If they explain, there's an answer. No explanation means there's video and as we've all learned...

Tape don't lie.
