When does this part apply, somebody, if not in the case in question?

I've used it in summer league games and in blow-outs when the clock failed to stop on the previous whistle. Rather than go through the "reset the clock" scenario, I just told the timer not to start the clock until I signalled. I hlepd my hand up and then chopped the time in 2 or 3 seconds after it "should have" started to get us back to the "correct" time.
