That's the same answer as rainmaker and Dan gave a couple of days ago here and I gave on another boards.

Am I missing something here, Bob? Neither you, Dan or Juulie said that they could also add a second of lag time, did you?
Good point. I missed that little detail. I'm wondering if Peter Webb is saying that we should (a) subtract elapsed time and also subtract another second for lag time, or (2) calculate elapsed time less one second and then subtract that result. The first would be asinine. The second might feel like the common sense thing to do for some folks. But if the ref has been counting and then subtracts the amount she counted out until the ball was in frontcourt, there should be no need to consider lag time, should there?
