Disheartening ways to lose a game (Video)
This has to be up there. I have to think there are fewer interesting game ending stories than this one.

How long do the officials wait for it to not drop before walking off the court? One second? Five seconds? Ten seconds? Thirty seconds? One minute? One hour? One day?

Can we use Rule 16-2: Ball Overhanging Hole: When any part of the ball overhangs the lip of the hole, the player is allowed enough time to reach the hole without unreasonable delay and an additional ten seconds to determine whether the ball is at rest. If by then the ball has not fallen into the hole, it is deemed to be at rest. If the ball subsequently falls into the hole, the player is deemed to have holed out with his last stroke, and he must add a penalty stroke to his score for the hole; otherwise, there is no penalty under this Rule.

Wait? I'm being told ... Wrong sport? Golf? Never mind.

They should rope off the area with a security guard to prevent tampering and check it the next day.

So we'll have to use Rule 30: A hanging ball that falls into a pocket "by itself" after being motionless for 5 seconds or longer shall be replaced as closely as possible to its position prior to falling, and play shall continue.

Wait? I'm being told ... Wrong sport? Pool? Damn. Never mind.

Was this game played anywhere near a major fault zone?

Wait? I'm being told ... Where? Kansas? How about tornadoes?

Do NOT give in to the temptation of posting the final scene from Caddyshack.

Did you notice that one of the players on the black uniformed team had blue numbers on his jersey? That was weird.

Seriously ...
Seriously.

How long do the officials wait for it to drop off the flange, or to drop into the basket, before walking off the court?

The lead clearly calls for an AP throw-in just as the buzzer sounds. So it's already a dead ball.

Exactly as long as they'd wait if it happened with 3:45 gone in the second period.

Or, exactly as long as they did wait in the video (+ /1 .475 seconds).

iow, sometimes you just need to officiate.

You tell us. Pretend that was your game you can't consult us or the rule book. You have to make a decision on your own.
