I admit that I know a fraction of the rule book, but I just can't "forget about the whistle." It seems so illogical to me that the mechanism used to stop the clock in almost every other situation on the basketball court should be ignored due to the official timer's error.
It seems that more people are in agreement with this interpretation, but it just "seems" wrong to me.
Thanks all
