rojas Wrote:If the official is watching the clock, he is probably not watching the ball come out of the shooter's hand so the clock turning to 0:00 is the least desirable option.
Sound travels at about 1080 feet per second. So if the official is 50 feet from where the horn (not the horn operator, but the horn) is located it would take about 0.05 second for the sound of the horn to reach the official's ears.
Light travels at about 185 miles per second, which is almost instant. The light would be far more accurate than the first two options.
I seem to remember a Sweet 16 Game coming down to this. And it was stated that official in KY HS were taught to use the horn. Honestly the red light is tough even in this scenario unless used by instant replay.
Memory may be off, it would have been 10+ years.
