There is no case reference where you can put time back on the clock without having seen a specific time on the clock.
2. Definite knowledge is still gained, in this case play, by counting. If you're going to lie and state that you had a definite count that places the clock at .9 seconds; then your integrity is also in question.

How does my integrity come into question when I know there is time left? Whether i see the clock or not, I know there is time left. I get the fact that HS is trying to dummie it down. When we're talking less than a second, and so much of what we do is judgment and subjective. Less than a second is less than a second. At best, at worse, my judgment can only be off a second. We are in a no-win situation here Snaqs. If i acknowledge the time, one side is going to say, how can you do that, the game should be over. The other side is going to say there should be time left, and if you say, well I didn't see the clock and therefore have no idea what to put back on it. GAME OVER! Oh yea, that's gonna go over real good. To me, my opinion, go with your judgment. I've been doing it the whole game, why should I change now with the game in the balance. I gonna go with a game management call here, let the players decide the outcome not the rulebook. Most everybody, coaches, players, fans will appreciate that line of thinking and reasoning.
The only people that disagree, is the people on this forum, and you live in your own isolated world of basketball because real world, this is more excepted.
