If there was any lag time, it occurred between the time the coach called timeout and the official looked at the clock. He did not say he looked at the clock on the bucket. He said he looked at it after the whistle sounded. Hence, there would have been more than a second on the clock when the whistle blew. Therefore, you can put the time back up.
Follow-up question: If there is .7 left on the clock and red inbounds the ball to teammate who takes 2 dribbles and releases the ball before the horn, will you allow the goal? Gotta give the timer lag time from the time they see you chop the clock until there finger can hit the button, right? According to the logic heard here, count it!!

The above has got absolutely nuthin' to do with the play we were discussing. You can bullsh*t and what-if from here to next year, but the fact still remains that you were completely wrong! If there was 0.6 seconds on the clock when the official blew the whistle and looked at it, and the clock then ran out, you CANNOT put that 0.6 seconds back on the clock. The rules won't let you. That's exactly what case book play 5.10.1SitD(b) states!!!
I agree with your statement that there is a lack of rules knowledge on this forum. Unfortunately, that applies mainly to your posts.
