End of OT in State High School Championship game yesterday.

10:48 or so into the video.

Here is a picture from the opposite side. The shot clock above the basket turns red when the buzzer sounds (it was not lit up yet in this shot).

Per the rules, no video review allowed in high school in our state, so whatever they initially called had to stand and they could nor check to verify it. It's very close either way.

no basket.  pretty clear, clock at 0 and ball still in hand.

Can't see the video, but from the picture it is no basket.  The ball is clearly on his fingers and the backboard lit up.  I think the call in the IU-Kentucky game was even closer.  The ball was just barely on the finger tips when the backboard lit up.

The still shot says it all. Of course, in real life, I could see how they called it good...if they did.

They called it late, it was late, not sure why we needed a thread for this
