my thought is once the officials noticed the clock NOT running, they should have had the timer start the clock without blowing their whistle. the coach was right in as much as stopping play and in effect created an inbound play that put his team at a disadvantage. another option would be to hash off 5 seconds and then blow the whistle and with definite knowledge of 5 seconds having elapsed, end the game. (assuming after the 3, there was 5 seconds or less on the clock).
