Thanks! They didn't actually burn off more than 25 secs. I "eventually" threw the ill sub flag and killed the clock ... but even there I probably gave them 7-8 secs to get extras off, instead of the "3-5" seconds the book calls for ... and probably a couple more had passed before I was sure I had more than 11.
So, maybe they burned 10, when if they 11 men on the field, they could have burned 24.
What I meant by "25 or more" was that if I don't throwthe substitution flag, I can see the BJ (in the confusion) maybe delaying a sec or two before he flags the DOG. That's assuming the BJ was a s confused as me.
