During the normal course of a game, doesn't the clock continue to run on a made basket? In the Loyola - Miami game the officials stopped play after the winning shot to put .3 of a second back on the clock. Don't think Miami had called a timeout in the wild frenzy after the basket.
Any insight.

The clock stops after a made basket in the last minute of the game and overtime.

In the NBA the game clock stops after a made basket with less than 2 minutes in the game. Not sure about college.

That explains what happens by rule. But I guess it didn't stop if the officials had to go check the time. Probably only matters in game ending situations. When a team is dribbling out at the end of a win, the screen shows tenths, but maybe the scoreboard is different. Thks.
