Automatic Dead Ball ...

Sounds like a good explanation.

I got caught up in the clock starting in error, and the period ending horn sounding in error, and if this still fit the definition of a ball becoming dead.

Make Sense ...

Just a few, but some NFHS rules don't make common sense, or don't seem to be fair, especially correctable error rules, situations involving "mistakes", especially clock mistakes, and of course...

Interruption ...

While it was indeed an IAABO answer (that I may not agree with), the question can stand alone and be answered only using NFHS rules and interpretations, no need to get IAABO involved. Also, we never...

Paperwork ...

Just be prepared to send Team A head coach to a cold bus in the parking lot, or to a smelly locker room.

"But my players stopped moving on our inbound play when the horn sounded, that why he...

From My Cold Dead Hands ...

If something really, really weird happens in a game, weird enough to possibly confuse players, coaches, table personnel, or officials, I reserve the right to "kill" the play at anytime to get things...

Older Then Dirt ...

Hey Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.

Didn't you play a round at the Old Course at Saint Andrews when it first opened in the early 15th century?

Ad Infinitum As Well As Ad Nauseam ...

At the risk of making Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.'s post even longer, just a reminder to everyone that we now have a casebook play regarding ONE of issues in his post from the past.

There is only one...

Clock Erroneously Started ...

Though probably not word for word as written by IAABO University, this (paraphrased below, I didn't record the phone call), is what my friend told me the over the phone, and why we believed that the...

Do-Overs ...

Agree. I know that there are generally no "do-overs" in high school basketball, but sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do, which is why basketball officials get paid the big bucks.

The Final Countdown (Europe, 1986) ...

Though not specifically mentioned, the implication was that the clock improperly started. At least that's how my friend and I read the question.

Theoretically, me mentally counting down the last...

It Is Already Dead ...

Agree.

Basketball Rules Fundamental #16. The official’s whistle seldom causes the ball to become dead (it is already dead).

Deem ...

Not always. Horn erroneously sounds for a substitute during a clock-running live ball in the first period. I'm waiting to see if the players can play through it. Sometimes they can. Sometime they...

Kill The Play ...

Agree.

I'm just not sure that my reaction time would allow for that. Best I could do would be to tell the coaches that I "killed" the play with the horn, but couldn't sound my whistle until the...

Before The Throwin Ends ...

Agree.

In this case, that would be before the throwin team commits a throw-in violation.

Could be be a matter of split seconds for an official to decide that this play is going sideways.

Re-Accredited ...

IAABO University may need to get re-accredited.

After a successful field goal, before the ball is at the disposal of the non-scoring team, the ball is dead.

My friend said true.
