But, in this sitch, the L finally did grant the TO request with one second to go. The timer then ran the one second off. As this was a high school game, would you really put the second back up after the FT's for the T and have a throw-in? Or was I reading your post wrong? [/B]

I will reply as if I were the calling official. Even though an excess TO by Team W was requested I am bound by rule to honor the request. Knowing time is running out I glance at the clock and see 1.0 seconds. Having definite knowledge of time I will put that time back on the clock. (lag time does not apply in this case)

1. Put 1.0 seconds on the clock.
2. Team L: 2 FT's (any player)
3. Team L throwin at division line opposite table.
4. Let the game play itself out.

[/B][/QUOTE]Daryl, the original post said that there was one second on the clock when the whistle blew. Casebook play 5.10.1COMMENT says "By interpretation, lag or reaction time is limited to one second when the official's signal is heard and/or seen clearly". Casebook play 5.10.1SitD(b) says that you can't put one second back up even if you were looking at the clock when you blew the whistle. Iow, lag time does apply if you are looking at the clock when you blow your whistle.

I can't think of any rules justification that would allow you to put that one second back on the clock in this particular situation. Thoughts?
