I agree. I had a situation come up this year in flag during the playoffs. I was keeping the clock and there was a penalty that had a TD called back with 3 seconds left. The Offense went back to huddle and I yelled out to them that the clock starts on the whistle. Our WH was kind enough to give them an opportunity to get the play off, instead of being an A-hole.

Three things wrong here.
1. Since the play was a TD, the clock would start on the snap.
2. Since there was an accepted penalty during the last play of the period, the period would be extended regardless whether the clock starts on the RFP or snap.
3. The R would NOT be an AH if he "let" the clock run out if the offense did not get the play off in three seconds. He would be aiding one team at the expense of the other.
