Mark, you're right on about this, but I think it's a dumb procedure. If the official has definite knowledge that the whistle blew with 7.3 seconds left on the clock, then the official should be allowed to put 7.3 up on the clock. I just don't see why, when you are
sure of what the time was, you are obligated to put less time back on the clock. Just seems dumb to me.
Just to be clear, Mark's not dumb. The procedure that he correctly explained is dumb.
