Maryland/Michigan State crazy finish (Video)

I'm not sure how it works in college, but this is exactly why the scorers should sit close enough to each other where they can easily check their records every time a foul is called.

I hate Monitor reviews when they take so long or especially on out of bounds plays. I don't want to see it over and over again! Just move on right away rather then these 2min+breaks.

In college there's only one book. The NCAA version has spaces to record the times of every foul and basket, which would come in handy in this case.

I don't know if the officials would be allowed to check here, but there will also be someone at the table entering the play-by-play into the program that produces the official statistics.

Some scorers don't always fill in the time or the number of the player in those boxes, though. I always tried to do so when we were on the road and I was the unofficial scorer.

When I was still a statistician, there were a couple of times where I offered the current time listed in my statistics software when the time was incorrect or the scoreboard reset itself. if I recall, the officials conferred with each other before going ahead with using that time, but I believe it can be used as definite knowledge, provided the software's clock is updated in real time.

Yes, we can. I've done it on inadvertent shot-clock resets more than a few times. One of my supervisors advises us to use every method available - within the rules - to get a play/call/rule right.

D1 (and most games at lower levels) games have a play-by-play that can be referred to.
