In light of published reports that there was a malfunction of the clock and the lighted backboard at the end of the Feb. 3 men’s basketball between Hawai?i and Nevada, the WAC has conducted a comprehensive review of this matter. The WAC has obtained indisputable video evidence from ESPN that the game clock attached to the backboard did read 0.00 at the same time the light surrounding the backboard was illuminated, thus signaling the end of the game. Further review of the video also confirmed that the shot attempted and subsequently made by the Hawai?i player came after the game had ended.
ESPN also has confirmed that despite the fact that the picture of the game clock that appeared on the television screen read 0.3 seconds when the backboard light came on, the actual game clock and the lighted backboard were in sync. This discrepancy is caused by a slight delay of the video feed as it is transmitted through the technical equipment that produces the graphics that are shown on the television screen along with the clock.
The video link below contains the video from ESPN. The clock above the backboard clearly shows 0.0 seconds remaining on the clock when the red light goes off and the ball is still in the Hawai?i player's hand. The second view also clearly shows the 0.3 second delay in the ESPN on-screen scoreboard. You will need Windows Media Player to view the file.
