Is the reseting of the clock really going to be that big of a deal?
I would venture to guess one of the main reasons why this rule has been changed this year. Pa. Class AAAA Championship game a few weeks go. Team A is down one, ball goes OOB and whistle is blown with .6 or .7 seconds left. Clock ran out -- because of lag time officials could do nothing about it. It is this type of situation that the NFHS is changing the rule for, not to add .1 second if an official blows the whistle at 45.4 and it goes down to 45.3 in the 2nd quarter. Bottom line, use common sense guys. If the clock needs to be fixed, then fix it.
