The thing that pisses me off the most about last play

You don’t honestly believe all 3 floor refs did not see Holden go out of bounds at any point do you? That seems impossible. He emerged from out of bounds to catch the pass. The only plausible possibility is that they didn’t see how he ended up out of bounds in the first place and assumed it was based on momentum - but why is it fair for them to make that assumption rather than review the play?
I honestly think they aren't looking for it. I will bet all the time shooters in the corner clip the out of bounds line setting up for a 3 point line. I have never seen it called because officials arent looking for it.

I saw a Houston player clip the baseline before catching a pass.

Terrible example...if I talk to you with my zipper down most likely you won't notice it.
 
I timed it a few times, and by my estimation the clock on the last play started 0.4 to 0.5 seconds late at the most. But the ball left the shooters hand with 0.6 seconds still showing on the clock, so he might still have gotten the shot off even with a competent (or ethical) clock operator. Regardless, it was an insane play. Everything that could've gone wrong for RU did, whether it be the clock operation, the refs missing calls, or the extremely low percentage shot going in.
You need to go back to the previous possession as well and time that. I think they got extra time in both possessions. When we fouled up 3. Where they fouled for our final FTs.. then on that rebound and coming up court. I think we lost some clock everywhere... some might be natural reaction time.. others especially helpful "reaction" times.
