As to the time - are you sure they used lag time? I agree that it looked wierd, but I'm not sure exactly what they did. The 0.4 in OT1 was nailed.
My friend, a fellow official, and I were watching the game together and I had him blurt out when the TO was requested. I had my eyes fixed on the clock. The clock was changing from 0.8 to 0.7 when he said, "now".
I actually only posted this message as a matter of interest. I didn't lay claim to what the clock should have been reset to.

It was already established that the TO was granted at 0.4s - and correctly so. I was just pointing out that it was requested at 0.8s.

As for the request near the 3-point line, it is mute because no official granted it before the endline request was granted.
