Why not correct back to that time, if the official has definite knowledge?
Reset the clock only when you have definite knowledge. You only call the fouls you see, even if you miss the "first" foul, correct? So only reset the clock to the time you "see". It's not that difficult: "Coach, I'm resetting the clock to the exact time based on definitive knowledge".....
