There was a whistle and the horn. The whistle was a shooting foul, by one of the most veteran officials around. There was no contact, according to my assistant coach. They put :01 back on the clock.
Haven't we had this one on here before? I think our decision was that principles of lag time apply - if ref whistled, looked, and saw :01, he would reset to :01.

My AC bats the ball out of bounds, but the clock never started! The officials leave the :01 up there, Team A inbounds baseline, and scores on a lob to go to the second OT!
Are you sure the clock didn't start?? Unless the clock shows 1/10ths of a second, you would have no way of knowing if the clock started or not. I have had times where the ball is quickly deflected OOB on an inbounds pass twice in a row, and no time ran off the display, but the clock was running - it just depends on how good of a timer you have.
