The clock on the wall indicated 0:00. But the console backs up and puts time on the clock. If that's true, then, yes, time has been put back on the clock. Precision Time doesn't reset the game clock. It simply stops the clock when the whistle is blown.

In this case, the clock is stopped with 0.2 seconds remaining in the game.

No, it didn't. The horn sounded and the clock was on 0:00. What is on the console at the table doesn't mean "didley". Most schools don't even have a display at the table. The clock that's mounted on the wall is the official time piece.
1-15
A visible game clock and scoreboard are mandatory.

However, due to the limitations of the display, it appears that time has run out. In regards to Bob Jenkins' question, I believe that the official time is what is displayed on the console at the table - not what is shown on the boards.

Based on what? There is nothing in the rule book that backs up your stand that the "console" is the official time piece. There's nothing in the origianl post that says there was .2 on the console.

Bottom line - the officials knew that 2 seconds "ran off the clock" and should have waited at least 3 before leaving.

Where did this "2 seconds ran off the clock and they should have waited 3" stuff come from? In the original post, the whistle blew with less than one second remaining and the horn sounded. You're adding things to this sitch that have no basis.
