That info is missing from Nevada's play. If The official sees the clock at the whistle and it goes from .6 to zero, game over. However, if the whistle blows and THEN the official looks, 1 second lag time is not a factor because the interval from whistle to look is interpreted as 1 second lag time, and .6 is put back.
Care to explain how you can do that when there was 0.006 on the clock when the official blew his whistle, as per the very first post on this thread? That info wasn't missing at all.

From the first post- "She crosses the division line with 0.6 seconds on the clock and the coach immediately asks for a time-out. Since the official was looking for the request, he blows the whistle right away". Iow, the whistle was blown with 0.6 seconds on the clock. I don't care if the official was looking at the clock or not when he blew the whistle either with 0.6 seconds left.
1) If the official was looking at the clock, the timer is allowed 1 second lag time as per case book play 5.10.1SitD(b).
2) If the official isn't looking at the clock, then as per your cite-5.10.1SitA-COMMENT- "One second or the 'reaction' time is interpreted to have elapsed from the time the signal was made until the official glanced at the clock." Take 1 second reaction time away from 0.6 of a second on the clock when the whistle blew and what do you have? No time on the clock! That one second "reaction" time to look at the clock means that the clock runs out in this case also.

That means one second or whatever the reaction time is, not a literal 1 second, and you know it.

The official needs definite knowledge of 1 second lag time for us to allow a full second.

It still comes down to this:

Official looking at clock at whistle, lag time up to 1 second.

Official not looking, lag time is the interval between whistle and look.

Stop spinning it JR.


[/B][/QUOTE]Then how much EXACT time are you gonna put back on the clock? You've just blow the whistle with 0.6 seconds on the clock. You then have to take some time to look at the clock. How much time EXACTLY are you taking to make that look? How much time is showing EXACTLY on the clock after you've made that look?

Don't give me that doo-doo about "spinning" either, BZ. You the one that's trying to say that it takes ZERO time to make a call with 0.6 seconds the clock, then look at the clock and still see 0.6 seconds on the clock.
