Chuck,
Why the two different rulings? What is the difference between "in his/her judgment" and "has definite knowledge"?

Is the first one designed to cover situation in which the official didn't actually see the clock, but it is obvious that some time ticked away? Upon what is the official supposed to base his/her judgment in these cases?

It seems like the first ruling is opening the door for corrections when the official doesn't have definite knowledge (saw the clock), but believes that some time came off.

Your thoughts please?

PS In light of my tough situation earlier this week which I posted, I truly appreciate you posting this. I am going to recommend that the NFHS adopt the 2nd ruling with the definite knowledge and scrap the current lag time provisions.
