I blow the whistle for a violation (NFHS) and immediately look at the clock to see 1.3 seconds on the clock. Timer allows the clock to run down and the horn sounds.
Do I:
1. Put all 1.3 seconds back on the clock? Or,
2. Allow for 1 second of timer delay and only put 0.3 seconds on the clock?

Depends. What quarter and what's the score. If it's a 20 point blow, I ain't touching the clock. If it's the end of the 4th and more then a "2 possession lead," I've also got nothing. Those kind of "game management" issues would play into my decision.

Yeah by all means, let's not get it right. Lord knows we all work with experienced timers, and nobody EVER has a game with a timer that may not know what they are doing. But why should I care that the next officials might have the same error happen in a 1 point game the next time.
