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.

The case situation I used was 5.10.1 Sit B and Comment.
In the comment, the two sentences following the one you quoted are the key. They read: One second or the 'reaction' time is interpreted to have elapsed from the time the signal was made until the official glanced at the clock. The additional [Time] which subsequently ran off the clock is considered a timing mistake.
In our case if I sounded my whistle to stop clock, then glance up and see 1.0 second then according to the comment lag time is already accounted for and any time theat susequently runs off the clock is a timing mistake. To correct I will reset the clock to that which I had definite knowledge. Definite knowledge is interpreted to mean what the official SAW. Therefore put 1 saecond on the clock. If I let clock remain at 0:00 it seems I have allowed for lag time twice.

There's the fallacy in your logic, Daryl. The official's
signal, the whistle, was made with
one second to go in the quarter in this situation. One second of allowable lag time then ran off the clock. That's exactly what your cite, CB play 5.10.1SitB-COMMENT is telling you.
QUOTE "By interepretation, lag or reaction time is limited to one second when the official's signal is heard and/or seen clearly".
UNQUOTE. Your own citation tells you that you are wrong.
No additional time to that allowable one-second lag time ran off the clock in this situation. In this case, it really doesn't matter whether whether the official is looking at the clock or not; that's a red herring.
When the
signal occurred is what the rule relies on. Time ran out one second after that signal; that one second is allowable lag time and the rules say that it can't be put back on.
