Question False Start between periods??

My play was a false start, so the clock starts on the ready, since the foul caused the clock to be stopped. That's why I didn't ask the timer to place one second on the clock, so that I could wind it and take it right back off.
===========

If you had a false start, that means that it had to have happened before the end of the period. The false start kills the clock. Therefore you need to take this into account. If you say false start and the period is over, that implies that the foul happened between periods.

While making your job a little more tedious for a "do-it-by-the-book" reason, you would have cleared up the fact that the foul was indeed prior to the end of the period, necessitating time on the clock.
