In addition, the superimposed clock on the screen is never in sync with the in arena clock and LED lights. The in arena LED lights are used to judge whether shots are released on time. The official also raises his hand to signal a 3pt attempt, he is NOT calling a foul.
The LED lights located at the scorers table and around the backboard clearly light up signaling time expired prior to any contact to the shooter. This play was extremely close, but what an amazing job by the crew to correctly judge this in real time without the use of replay!
