Here's another sitch under the same heading:
(Men's) After a basket, team B is pressing. After about 8 seconds, A1 is trapped in the backcourt then calls timeout. Official grants timeout request.
Coach B points out that the shot clock shows 25 (yes, the shot clock started on time AND there was no lag time when granting the TO) and should be a violation.
What do you have and why?

I tell the coach to sit down because this is a women's game.
In men's though, we have A's ball for a throw-in. Rule 2 A.R. 25 startes that "2-10 does not provide for the correction of an error made in the referee's counting of seconds." While the A.R. considers a fast count, it works the same for slow - the official's count is considered official, not the clock
. There is an NF Casebook play on this - I'll try to post it when I get back tonight.
