Let's just use the same scenario, with 6 seconds left, you whistle the RFP and wind the clock, team-A just stands there... Time Expires... the horn goes off.
Did you now... keep the teams on the field... issue the whoopy-doo signal (*S1) and whistle in another RFP?
Or did you just tell team-A (qb) that you have 19 seconds to snap the ball?
Just curious. I know the rule, just not sure how to apply it.

I actually was working wing several years ago with similar situation (matter of a few seconds left, can't remember exactly how many) and my white hat did exactly what I put in my previous answer, above with regards to "common sense". Started the clock on the snap instead of winding it, rather than running out time and doing a "whoopty-doo" untimed down, and confusing the players, coaches and fans. To me thats still the most logical common sense thing to do in that situation. I don't think anybody even gave that situation a second thought.
