However, you can't change the time on the clock unless you have direct knowledge of how much time should have run off. Therefore, you can't change it.

In the NBA, you would take .3 off the clock.
Just to clarify, in the NBA, the rule is that at least 0.3 must be taken off of the clock. If there's an appreciable delay, the CC can take more time off or (in this case) even say the period and/or game has ended.
