JR,
Let's say the official timer doesn't make an error.
He starts the clock when it is touched by the Memphis player.
He stops the clock when the whistle was blown (which happened before the OOB touch)
The officials can correct the timing mistake.
The manual timing can't go past the whistle because that would be the stopping point if there weren't an error.
I'm basically trying to figure out how the error correcting would be different than if there were no error.
Also, It is possible that the officials timed up to the point of the whistle. That could've been 1.1 secs. However, the rules don't support timing all the way to the touch out of bounds.
