Can you tap and score with 0.00 on the clock but before the horn has gone off? The answer of course is "YES", you sureashell can. The period ends when the horn goes-NFHS rule 5-6-2. If a ball is in flight before the horn goes off during a try or TAP, the quarter ends when the tap ends(i.e.-when it's good or not)--NFHS rule 5-6-2EXCEPTION1. Casebook plays 5.2.5SitA(a) and 6.7.6SitB also both very explicitly say that Goofball's statement above, as usual, is completely incorrect according to the rules.

I understand what I'm enforcing. I learn the rules to do that. You're making up your own damn rules again because you don't know or understand the rules that we're supposed to use.
as I stated before.

It's okay with me if you say you can legally score with 00.0 on the clock. It's okay with me that you can run another play with 00.0 time remaining on the clock. Just don't tell me that I can't put time back on the clock if I know there is time left. If it's okay to run a play with 00.0 on the clock, then it sureashell should be okay if I put time back on the clock when I have definite knowledge that time should be put back on the clock. Also, don't tell me that I don't know what I'm doing or I'm making up my own rules by doing so. The rules are not perfect, so give me a break. We work with what we got to work with, period, and we do the best we can with that, period.
