Unfortunately, the rules don't provide for you to take ANY time off of the clock. Unless you have definite information as to how much time had elapsed, you can't do anything- except talk to the timer about not doing it again, and explaining to both coaches exactly why you couldn't take any time off of the clock.
NFHS rule 5-10.

In theory.
In practice, you would be nuts to not take *some* time off. The goal then (IMO) is to take the amount of time off that leaves both coaches thinking you came to a fair conclusion, or as fair as possible.
