where the 1 second added came from I don't know.
if the qb turns to the white hat and calls a time out the white out gives the signal. the clock official should be watching for this signal on the field anyway because it can come from any official. the white hat does not have to turn around to face the booth to signal time out.also there is a clock on the field also. so the white hat should go to his line judge(who should have the clock in a 4 or 5 man game) and ask him if time expired.
if the white hat saw the clock and it had under 1 second on it and he thinks the qb got the time out to him before time expired, he could also have the game extended to one more down and explain his reason to each coach.(I can bet one coach you be hapopy and another pissed)
at no time should a white hat turn around and look at the clock to see if it ran out before the qb got the time out call to him.
now to answer your question about this call. I would have to say since the hat saw time left on the clock then we play one more down.
