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!!

SoCal, you know maybe you should go re read the case book and such before you come in here flapping your jaws. "Lag" time only applies to stopping the clock, not starting it. This would be because as the ball is being inbounded it is possible to anticipate the time when the ball will be touched...In the stopping the clock, it happens then a reaction happens....So no, we won't "count it" assuming there is a 10 second count going, which there should be, but if not, then yeah, it could be counted....coming in here with 8 posts and flaming veteren guys is not the best way to enamour yourself to the rest of the board...just a little piece of advice, do with it what you wish
