Dan, this is not what I was talking about at all in the passage you quoted. In that post, the Trail has called a 10-second violation with 28 seconds showing on the shot clock. In that situation, the ball is already dead, so the C is not killing the play as you state.

After the ball is dead, the C might reasonably go to the Trail and say "The clock only ran off 7 seconds. Are you sure about your 10 count?" At that point, the Trail can say, "Yes, the clock started late" or "#$*%, my bad."

Do you think that's unreasonable? (Honest question, not baiting.)
