In a NFHS game we must also take into account one second of "lag time". In your sitch this means that the ball must be legally inbounded to a player (clock starts), then once the player controls the ball time-out is requested, then the official grants time-out (clock stops). Once the official grants the time-out there may be as much as one second run off before the timer stops the clock. I would suppose that any or all of the 3 sec. may run off the clock, but certainly some time must be consumed in this situation.
Was the request for time-out made before inbounding? If the request was made, and granted, before the thrower-in released the ball, then no time should be run off the clock even though the player subsequently (27 scrabble points for that word) releases the ball on the throw-in.
