Ok, I now see where our difficulty is. Apparently, for some strange reason, you actually read the original post! See, if you just go by what you remember from last year's deleted post, then you'll see that my interpretation is exactly correct.
Now, being prompted by your recap, and having read the original post, I can see why you don't like my solution. In the old thread, the horn sounded
as the inbounds player caught the ball. But that didn't happen here.
The original poster seems to have realized his incorrect chop. So I would hope, if it had been me in the situation, that I would've looked to see if the clock had started or not, as you suggested earlier.
If I didn't check the clock, then I guess the question is, how did he know that it started improperly? Never mind.
Ok, horn goes off and I'm then told that the clock started incorrectly. What to do?
Ball out of bounds wherever it was when the horn sounded with one second on the clock. B/c, as I will tell the coaches, my count was at 2 when the horn went off. Was it really at two? Did I really have a count?
