I'm gonna disagree. If you're going to claim you have no idea how much time came off & you want to go by the rule then the basket counts and the clock stays where it was at.

In hindsight, probably the best way to have handled it would be for the T to immediately blow the whistle upon noticing the clock never started. It would have stopped the play in the middle, but it would have avoided any "do-over" scenario beacuse the play would never have happened.

Again, I'll disagree. The "best" way would be for whoever
saw the clock didn't start to start a visible count & end
the game when he got to 4.2. You can do this by rule
because you have definite knowledge.

I still like Chuck's answer. If you stroll to the table with confidence and say "I know the bucket was good, three seconds ticked off - put 1.2 on the clock," I think you gain a little credibility by having some presence of mind to know what the heck was going on when the clock screws up.

Yes, even if there's less than 10 seconds left still count.
This way you demonstrate that you have definite knowledge.
And Chuck's answer is the right answer, and I'm sure if
Chuck says 1.2 is left then 1.2 is left!
