Good catch by Burr.

I am not debating the situation that took place in the actual game you saw. I am just addressing that what Bilas is saying is basically wrong. Simply touching the ball does not start the count; you have to have possession first. So the time coming off the clock will be misleading if you use that as your only reference point.
