By rule it is an official's error and the game is over.
Most feel that the fair thing is to envoke 2-3 and give team A a do-over.
MTD will chime in, incorrectly, that it is a timer's error.

You are absolutely correct that I am going to chime in. Daryl and I have discussed this play ad nauseum and Daryl's post is correct. It does not matter whether the official incorrectly signaled the clock to start or the timer started the clock even though the official did not signal the clock to start, the important thing is that the clock was not supposed to start until the throw-in touches or is touched by a player on the court. The game clock started too soon. We know the clock was started incorrectly and we have knowledge as to what time was on the game clock. Mary Struckhoff (NFHS Rules Editor has given me a written confirmation that Daryl's interpretation is correct in an earlier email this season, which I have shared with the Forum.
BZ, you have got to stop giving incorrect information that CANNOT be supported by rule.
MTD, Sr.

Yeah that would be an interpretation where .4 seconds come off the clock without knowledge of ACTUAL time off the clock, which has NO RULE SUPPORT WHATSOEVER.
My opinion is supported 100% by the rules. 5-9-1 and caseplay 5.10.1.C.
You give out wrong information more than any poster on this forum. Cylinder of verticality and Blarges just to name two.
