I thought it was pretty straightforward.

People in my association were saying that the penalty killed the clock, not the change of possession. And I brought up the fact that if Team A declines the penalty (for some unknown reason), then you would start the clock on the snap.

My whitehat's exact words on friday were, "completed pass inbounds, and A is keeping possession, therefore on the ready"

I still disagree with that.
You are correct! How can they argue the fact that if there was not a penalty, the COP would cause the clock to start on the snap. That is as straight forward as it gets. Your white hat is being stubborn. Will he listen to your reasoning?
