1st and 10. A1 catches a 5 yard pass near the sideline but is driven back and out of bounds. I give no signal but the clock operater stops the clock thinking the receiver was out of bounds. Can we wind this to indicate forward progress and inbounds, thus keeping the clock running?
I realize the clock operator made a mistake, but it isn't a problem for me to wind the clock. It's all about communication, right?

Last year you wound the clock. This year you don't. Two years from now they will tell you you must wind again.
Where I work they forbid us from wearing black shorts to work lower level games for 20 years previous. Last year they allowed them. Next year we are ONLY allowed to wear black.
The point is that there are people making a living by telling officials what to do. They need to justify their existance on the payroll. Be patient.
