I agree, you can't correct the time unless you have specific knowledge of what to reset it to. However, the original post said there was 1.94 seconds left when they had the ball out of bounds so we do know specifically what to reset the clock to. Thus, reset the clock to that time and start again.
Yup, 1.94 seconds when the official made a mistake by chopping the clock in prematurely. Just like BZ has been telling you for days. There was no timer error to correct. Now that we have that out of the way, hopefully, please cite a rule that says we can correct the official's mistake.

Lah me. [/B]
So, you're telling us the clock was properly started in this case?

Please provide a rule to back up your argument that it is proper to start the clock in this sitch. [/B][/QUOTE]Rule 5-9-1--"After time has been out, the clock shall be started when the official signals time-in". Didn't the official signal time-in in this case? Didn't the timer, using the direction provided by this rule, then properly start the clock on the official's signal? Ergo..official's mistake, not a timer's mistake.
