Proof is in the TSSAA Class bracket. Cannon County is in it. McMinn Central is not. Shot off in time!

Guys (and let me say I was for Cannon County) but seriously!!! Enough over the nanna-second that the shot may or may not have been out of her hand. Real time, couldn't tell at all. Slowed down to the nth degree, perhaps a stitch of leather is still touching a fingertip (I don't know). Bottom line is ref(s) called the shot good so it's good. Why not quit whining about the nth of a second it may or may not have counted. Why not talk about the FOURTEEN (14) free throws McMinn MISSED. That doesn't even include the ones they made. If not the the three blind mice officiating this game McMinnn would have never been in it. There were more missed calls and no calls on McMinn fouls as I have ever seen in a 32 minute game. McMinn pressed and trapped the entire time (especially second half down 13 when they had to turn the pressure up) and Cannon County NEVER (i repeat) NEVER shot a 1-and-1 the entire game. Cannon County players just didn't all of a sudden forget how to dribble and protect the ball. They were being hacked and pushed when losing the ball and McMinn coming back. The officials did enough to help McMinn's cause. You will have to overlook them for the final tenth of a second they opted to finally let something go. They had the entire game. Bottom line, there is plenty of complaining and whining to do. The shot (clock) is just one small part but happened to be at the end. The biggest problem I see in that gym with a large crowd is the McMinn students being allowed on the baseline while action is going on. There is barely room to navigate or move (for the players or officials). I saw a Cannon County player more than 2 feet out of bounds on the baseline where McMinn students were twice in the first half and it wasn't called b/c the refs were not in position to see it. Great game. Ladies on both teams played hard. Get over it and move on. Had the shot been waved off I doubt we would have had the slowed down video from McMinn. For the record, the angle from where the Cannon County video sits shows the shot did get off just in a knick of time.
