End of game review

[just another ref]

End of NC/Iowa St game. The clock started late on the throw-in after the made basket. The timeout was finally recognized with a few tenths left. Then after recognizing the late start, the net result was game over. I get that and don't have a problem. But, if instead of calling the timeout, the guy had released a successful shot at the same point (or with even less time on the clock) would the review to check the release have gone back through the whole final possession and ultimately canceled the shot?

surely not

Yes, I think they would have.

Yes, a review would have been triggered and the timing error corrected using a stop watch, and the shot would have been cancelled.

It didn't end up mattering, but I thought it was strange in the Kansas/Stanford game, KU hits a 3 with 15 seconds to go and immediately calls a timeout. But the crew decided they needed to review the clock and decided the clock should read 15.1 instead of 15, so they give Kansas their timeout back??!! That seems like a bit much.

Agreed--I've felt like there's been far too much watching the backs of the officials' heads while reviewing monitors to adjust the clock after what seems like every stoppage of play.

So, if the clock is late starting on the play, (less than a second late, I think?) player comes up the floor, watching the clock with no way of knowing that it is not correct, times his shot perfectly and releases it with .2 showing, only to have it wiped out?

This would be criminal.

Part of me wonders if these conferences are taking a little longer than they need to solely as the officials' way of quietly trying to push for PTS.
