I was a little surprised to not see this brought up earlier in this thread. Usually little twists like this are brought up early in these discussions. I just wanted to make the point that just because A gets the ball back that the clock may start on either the ready or the snap.

My thought is that if you're not sure if the clock should start on the ready or the snap, let it start on the snap. It's always better to get it right but sometimes we just forget.

Sometimes a good clock operator will help you out. A couple of weeks ago my game had an incompletion and an injury. Before the next snap we had a dead-ball foul. On the next ready I had a brain-cramp and wound it but instantly realized I just screwed up. I waved the clock stopped immediatly and looked at the clock. The clock had never started. He was paying attention to what he was supposed to be doing instead of what I told him.
