Extension of Periods

from live-ball fouls not penalized as dead-ball fouls, has been played when:
a. A penalty is accepted for a live-ball foul(s) not penalized as a dead-ball
foul that occurs during a down in which time expires (Exception: Rule
10-2-2-g-1) (A.R. 3-2-3-I-VIII).
b. Offsetting fouls occur during a down in which time expires.
c. An inadvertent whistle is sounded or an official signals the ball dead
during a down in which time expires.
Well, I went home and got out the book at lunch. Based on what you've posted, I see no flaw in your argument. Guess I need to hunt the guy down next Monday and see if I misunderstood him, or if he has some other interp that actually came from somewhere.
