What if A ran out of bounds? Does the clock stop when he runs out of bounds? What if A throws an interception? Does the clock stop following an interception? What if A throws an incompletion? Does the clock stop following and incompletion? By you ready for play advocates you would start the clock on the ready after administering a penalty following an incompete pass. Is that how you do that?
3-4-2b. says (the clock starts on the ready) following ANY foul, with the stipulation ("provided") that in either part a. or part b:
The action that caused the down to end (did the penalty cause the down to end? Fundamental III. 2. says no live ball foul causes the ball to become dead, so what action caused the ball to become dead? B was tackled after INTERCEPTING A's pass, right?) doesn't also cause the clock to be stopped. Does an interception cause the clock to be stopped? Why are you guys treating stopping the clock after an interception different than stopping the clock after an incompletion. The rule asks "what stopped the clock"? A being tackled inbounds doesn't stop the clock. The clock stoppage to administer the penalty is already provided for in the rule, so. what if A fouls (the rule says ANY foul) during an incomplete pass? Bob, when would you start the clock in that scene?
