Yes, this was a meaningless game, but I was watching the end as it was close.


Here is what happened today:

1) Georgia inbounds the ball down 1 with 16 seconds to go
2) They are running a play at the top and the clock stops with 5.6 seconds to go.
3) Refs don't notice the clock has stopped
4) Plays continues to run, guard leads a post man for a good look and he is fouled.

But hold on, now the refs notice the clock does not make sense. So they pull out the stopwatch and realize the clock had been stopped for 6.5 seconds.
Judgement - Buzzer should have sounded. Game over.

1) I blame the Refs for not stopping the game immediately.
2) I blame the Home team, who any time this has ever happened (I have seen it about 3 times), seem to benefit

If it's the home team fault (intentional or not), the game should be reset back to 5.6. If the team had hit a shot before they noted, the shot should count as well. If the home team's equipment screws up why should the home team get the advance - the road team should get the advantage.
