It's concrete, because the book says an official's count may be used.

Maybe your assignor is happy. I have a couple who would not be happy.

Clearly, and by common sense, the foul happened with more than 13.1 left. But, what could we put on the clock?
Why is it different if it's 3.1 or 1.31 or .31 left when you notice the clock?

I say put 18.0 back on the clock. You can say you know it took 5 seconds to break up the skirmish. If anybody asks how you came up with that number just tell them "I felt it in my bones". It will make every happy.
