In the broadcast the R can be seen with a stopwatch in his right hand while kneeling in front of the monitor. I believe that he timed the interval between the tap on the missed FT and when the clock finally started and came up with 0.6. However, he then mistakenly believed that he had to ADD that time to the game clock instead of SUBTRACT it! So he ordered 0.6 put back and the last throw-in for Akron.
Does that seem plausible to anyone?

No. The R timed the interval between the tap on the missed FT and when the
made shot went through and came up with 6.0 seconds. That lets him know whether the shot actually was made in time and also how much time remained after the last basket went through. That's logical.
