Up until just a couple of years ago, you could do nothing here since there was a 1 second lag time built into the rule. It's normal reaction time, so you can't accuse the time of biased behavior based on a 1 second lag.
The change came, presumably with the increasing ubiquity of the more advanced game clocks that display tenths. If you have a clock that doesn't display tenths, there truly is nothing you can do.
