Rule 2.3
Referee's Authority
The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules.

I still say that I am going to put the time back on the clock to start the game. Clock should have never started.

OK,I'll say that you can't use R2-3 because the the play is already covered in the rules,specifically the casebook play that I referenced.You can't ignore that one just because you don't agree with it.

I'll also say that if this same play happened to me, and if I was the R as in mick's original post-way baaaaack:
1)I would call for a re-jump.
2)I would tell the timer to re-set the game clock to 8:00,20:00,whatever, without even trying to explain why to the coaches.

You don't try to kill a gnat with a cannon.
