I did ask the head ref (Don Johnston at UCF) he said you cannot cross the line after the buzzer. Here's the match
You will see us coasting in after the buzzer, but were told it didn't count because it's where you are when the buzzer sounds "as per the rules". So I didn't argue, just left it at that. Other people got upset but oh well.
