second- if thers .04 left on the clock when the qb calls it he gets another play. time did not expire.
now spiking the ball would be very hard with 1 second left but its possible to do. the clock stops as soon as the ball hits the ground.
most youth leagues and high school field don't have clocks with tenths of a second on them but don not say its not possible to get the play off. your linejudge has a clock with tenths of seconds on it.
i guess you guys are thinking the best thing to do is run the clock out and end the game saying theres no time left since most people also don't think you can get a play off. yet it is possible to get this play off and still get another chance.
and to answer the question posted, there is time left when the white hat gets the time out call from the qb. they get another try....
if anyone is a b ball ref in here they can tell you that its not impossible to get the ball TAKE A DRIBBLE (this being the key word)and shot with 1 second left.
thanks,

BBall Refs I would like to here your response to this one. Take the ball, DRIBBLE, then shoot in 1 second? Catch and shoot--yes but dribble--I doubt it.
To receive the snap and take 1 step backwards will take at least 1 second. The spike must be a forward pass immediately in the ground. I just don't see how a spike can be performed in LESS than a second. I still say not possible.
