The referee tells the timer to set the clock to 4 minutes and gives the ball to Team A for a throw-in. Team B’s coach is not happy and thinks all points should not count and the overtime should start over with the new time on the clock – the referee disagrees. Is the official correct?

Why would the clock be set at 4:00? If 1:05 has run off, wouldn't it be set to 2:55?
