JR...I have seen you and blindzebra kind of dance around this subject of timing before on this forum.
I have read JR's cited case plays and have read blindzebra's (5.10.1 SITUATIONB: COMMENT)
If there wasn't a rule on this timing/lag thing...I would just like to think I was using common sense if I put up the time I actually saw (definite knowledge) on the clock before the horn sounds.
I think blindzebra has found a "loophole" in the rules to do just that. In Nevada's scenario, I would feel much better putting the .6 seconds on the clock. That doesn't neccessarily make it right...I would just feel better.
Using JR's cited rules the time would not be put on the clock...and this would be correct.
Using blindzebra's cited "loophole" the time would be put back on the clock.
In Nevada's scenario we have the same thing happening on the court...to the player...to the coach...to the team. But, yet the same scenario on a different night could have different rulings because of when the official did or did not look at the clock.
This seems inconsistent to me...I like the "loophole" in this case...and would probably put the time I saw on the clock, since I saw the clock after I sounded the whistle.
Thoughts?
