Exclamation Ok...But....

Jurassic (& others),

I appreciate the post...Don't have rulebook/casebook in front of me, but I thought if the referee has definite knowledge of time, it can be put back on clock. (I guess the rule says it can't if there is under 1 second?)

In the post, the official stated he saw 0.6. So, my interpretation was that if he didn't see this 0.6, THEN he couldn't put any time back because it would just be his approximation (i.e., there is no definitive knowledge, so one can't just guess).

But if he saw the clock, and it appears that he did, does the rule state the game is over? I think that gives an unscrupulous timekeeper too much control. Also, in my opinion, it kind of contrasts with the whole notion of using tenths of second in this situation. Just my opinion here --> looking foward to what others think...

Joe
