Lightbulb Canadian Ruling

CANADIAN RULING:

Our mechanics are designed to prevent this from possibly happening.

But it it does happen, then I'd hope that the R would reset the play clock.

CANADIAN MECHANICS:

The side guy on K's side must see the FG team come on, and signal the crew accordingly. The BJ and FJ will also get into position, and help the other(s) be aware of the FGA.

The U already over the ball, and when the crew is in place, the R waives off the U and whistles the RFP when all are in position. This whole process often takes 3-4 seconds, and is 99.99% completed before K breaks their huddle/gets to the line.
