Sure. There should be a rule change that states, "When the game clock shows tenths of a second and the clock does not stop with the official's whistle, the official is allowed to put the exact time that was showing when s/he first looked at the clock at or after the sounding of the whistle back on the game clock, provided s/he has definite knowledge."
I'm sure that could be worded better. But the point is, when tenths of a second are showing, you put back whatever time you saw, regardless of when you looked at the clock.

But until that rule is changed, game over.

Where in the play given were the words,"The official was looking at the clock when they whistled the timeout and the clock read.6?
By rule, if the whistle blew at.7 and the official looked at the clock at .6 and the clock ran out, .6 is put back on the clock.
The interval of whistle to look is judged lag time and it does not matter if it is 1 second or 1 tenth.
As I stated before, Nevada's play can be game over or team A's ball with .6 left, it all depends on when the official saw the clock.
