BZ and JR keep forgetting some of the fundamentals of basketball.
NFHS R5-S9-A1 states: After time has been out, the clock shall be started when the official signals time-in. If the official neglects to signal, the timer is authorized to start the clock as per rule, unless an official specifically signals continued time-out.
R5-S9-A1 is not the all governing article in S9. Articles 2, 3, and 4 defines what actions cause the game clock is to start. Article 1 describes actions that the game officials and timer must follow whenever the conditions of Articles 2, 3 or 4 are met. It does not matter whether the game officials did or did not signal time-in or whether the game clock operator did or did not start the clock when the game official correctly or incorrectly signaled or did not signal at all, Articles 2, 3, and 4 are the only things that cause the clock to start. And in all three articles, the action that causes the game clock to start is contact between the ball and a player on the court.

In other words, those articles define what it means for the clock to *properly* be started. Regardless of what the humans do.

It looks like you, Daryl, and Camroon, and I are the only people that get it.

Mark, as much as I hate to say it, we agree.
As do Daryl and Camroon. Whoever he is.
