I think this was asked earlier in the thread, but how much time would you consider putting on the clock, .01, .00?
I apologize if this topic was debated before and we're going over old stuff.

This simply brings in time and "definite knowledge" principles. If we replace the TO request with a common foul before the bonus, or a violation, what would we do? We may know the request, foul, violation, or whistle happened before the horn, but if we do not have definite knowledge as to how much time to put back up, then the period has ended. If we do have definite knowledge, then we put that exact amount back on the clock and grant the TO or penalize the violation or foul.
