Just one question for MTD, why is it a timers mistake now, when in the last situation, it was an officials mistake??
If Mark doesn't mind, I'll answer that one for him. In the late, lamented, lengthy thread, the official did erroneously chop time in on the throw-in before the ball was touched on the throw-in. The timer started the clock on the official's wrong signal, instead of when the ball was legally touched on the throw-in. That doesn't apply in the case above. This one is a straight timer's error, with no extenuating circumstances.
