Future SEC refs?

What the heck? That’s criminal! Scrub through to the 10 second mark and it’s clear as day from full court. Not sure what that ref saw/heard to make him believe it was no good.

I’m pretty sure the team that won because of the bad call is Camden which is Billy Richmond’s team
 
That official knows got dang well that he can't tell if the clock started on time. That's a good basket. It's a shame it can't be overruled. There were clearly .4 or .5 seconds left when it left his hand.
 
Games like this should be able to be overturned by KHSAA or whatever state this is in . This is clearly off his hand and maybe even clears the net with .1 seconds. I smell a biased ref or 2 in this bc this is basically the basketball version of friday night lights. They shouldn't be able to ref another playoff game for the rest of their lives btw, completely incompetent.
 
I saw somewhere that the discussion and decision wasn’t about the timing of the basket but rather whether the clock started on time on the inbounds. I can’t see the clock start on this video so can’t tell if the refs were right or not.
Looks to me like clock was at 5.8 when guy made the last FT. Then, the camera moves such that you can't see the clock on the inbounds. However, the next time we see it is very shortly after the player receives the inbounds and is running up the court, and the clock's at 5.5. Seems like the clock was accurate/reasonable to me.
 
Just saw a new angle. The clock clearly didn't start on time. I think the officials got it right. It didn't start until he dribbled, not when he touched it.

 
But why don’t the Kids have a right to depend on the clock. They may have played it differently. If the clock didn’t start on time . Then roll it back and give them another chance .
 
It looks like this may end up in court. Not sure a bad call should be a legal matter but we shall see.

Wow, if we did this we'd be able to lock up the entire court system just from the sheer volume of pathetic calls over the years. We'd also probably have 3-4 more titles handed our way (unless we hit judges that graduated from Puke, IU, UL, UNC, KU, UT, and other hated rivals...).
