If you're looking at the clock, blow your whistle at the 1:00 mark and the clock doesn't stop until :58 seconds, you can only reset the clock to :59 seconds.

If you're not looking at the clock, blow your whistle, then turn to see the clock at the :59 second mark and the clock doesn't stop until :58 seconds, you can reset the clock to :59 seconds.

It's considered that 1 second lapsed between the whistle and the official turning and seeing the clock. If you aren't looking at the clock when the whistle sounds, you can reset it to what it was when you did look. If you're looking at it, you must allow 1 second of lag time.
