I would challenge the statement "If you don't have a count (visible or mental), you don't take time off. Period."
Ball is inbounded in back court and dribbled to FC, passed around, shot taken, etc before its picked up that clock never started.
Any of the officials will have 100% certainty that up to X seconds have passed. What that number is up to the officials to come to consensus on but you can be 100% certain that a number greater than 0 should be deducted. Why does it have to be an all or nothing scenario? Why do we leave ALL the time on OR only the exact amount remaining? Why can't "common sense and logic" be applied to "official information"?
