I certainly understand there are no "do-overs", and in this sitch once the TI has ended, we can't go back. We would put the ball in play by a spot TI closest to where the ball was at the time of the official's whistle. Ideally the official would also put the correct time back on the clock due to definite knowledge (perhaps due to a continuation of the 5-sec. throw-in count). But are they also saying that we can "guess" a few tenths of a second, because we "must make some allowance for the touching by A1"?
It sure seems like that's what they're saying. It's not entirely unprecedented. There is the 3/10th of a second rule for catch and shoot. I suppose if I had to subtract some time "for the touching by A1" I'd probably take 3/10th off if A1 caught it cleanly. Anyone have another suggestion?
