And no, I'm not playing devil's advocate on this one. This is the rule. No one has provided any reference that proves different. [/B]

The clock starts when touched. The ball is dead and the clock is stopped on a violation. The out of bounds touch and the kick are both violations. The clock should therefore start and stop at the same instant. This seems to me to be impossible. My conclusion: We deserve more money.
