Exciting finish. Does look like the officials did about as good of a job as could be expected.

Very nice work by the officials.

Huh? This is only ok work by the officials.

1. The Trail never chops the clock after the throw-in is legally touched inbounds.
2. By my watch, 3.02 seconds elapse between the touch of the ball and the officials whistle. The game clock should have expired, making white the winner.

That said, the white coach is an idiot.

Apart from the Zapruder-esqe breakdown on the YouTube clip, the crew wasn't helped by the clock operator on the first throw-in but the T didn't help himself by not blowing his whistle immediately when the ball landed OOB.
