Yes, please do read 5.10.1.C. It states "There is no provision for the correction of an error made in the official's accuracy in counting seconds." Our situation has nothing to do with the official's accuracy in counting seconds.

The reason it relates is because it is rules support for not being able to correct an official's error in putting time back on the clock.
I guess the, "The clock may not be reset as there are no rule provisions to do this," just escaped your attention?
It can't be fixed because it was not a TIMER'S error, and neither is the case we are discussing.

No, it didn't esape my attention. What you're not seeing is that the explaination for it in the next two sentenses. They both state specifically that the reason that situation can't be corrected is because there aren't provisions for correcting an error in the official's count. Our situation doesn't have anything to do with an official's count. It doesn't say anthing about an official correcting there error in starting the clock.
Let's try this situation: There is 2.1 seconds left if the game with B leading 45-44. Your are the R and Lead. Team A has the ball ready for throw in in their back court. A1 (with the ball for the throw in) rolls the ball down the court. A2 lets it roll before touching it but the T inadvertantly chops the clock in. The buzzer goes off before A2 (or anyone else) even touches the ball. What do you do?

I'm not arguing this any more, it is the same situation you did not change a stinking thing.
5-9-1 says the timer starts the clock on the official's signal.
5.10.1.C says we CANNOT put time back on an OFFICIAL'S ERROR.
I have said 4 or 5 times in this stupid thread that by rule the game is over...PAY ATTENTION NOW...in practice I'd go to 2-3 and give a do-over.
