You keep looking at the wrong bouncing ball. I signaled for the clock to
stop by keeping my hand in the air. I'm giving you the fact that clock (coulda, woulda, shoulda) started, but I'm saying I stopped the clock at the same time. If time runs off, I can correct for the failure to
stop the clock.
Again, I know it's a slight stretch, but intent is a big part of figuring out the rules. If the intent of the new kicked ball interp. is to say any throw-in doesn't end on that violation, then I can't think of any situation where the clock should start even though the throw-in hasn't ended. Can you?
I hope they pick up one of them magic keyboards and get that word "legally" added to 5-9-4 by the time the books come out.
