This still doesn't answer why NF would allow you to call a game over when you you have direct knowledge that your whistle came before the horn. The game is over because of a lag time rule only. I can't understand why you would not apply that same rule to a middle of the game violation. The end of game can have much greater impact than a mid-game violation call.

And the reasoning behind lag time works for both situations - you don't want to try to micromanage the clock in every HS and MS gym in the country, just fix major timing blunders. It holds true for shot clock (when used) and for game clock.
