NBA's Lack of Foresight Dooms Magic - May 7, 2008 - The New York Sun

The league may institute a more sophisticated review for game clock malfunctions, but I'm wondering if they're going to consider the players on the floor as part of their new rule? Everyone knows they rely on game and shot clocks for last second on court decisions. I can almost guarantee Stuckey would have shot the ball instead of passing if he saw the clock at 1-2 seconds instead of the 4.8. If Stern & co change the rules, they should also institute some sort of do-over provision.

That's right. Do over would be fair. But to take away three points would not be fair.

Stuckey may have made that 2 pointer if the clock didn't stop.
