Exclamation Follow-Up Question

Time running out in a close game, timer is watching the clock. He/she hears the whistle, and the clock shows :03 at the instant the whistle is blown.

(a) He/she tries to stop the clock, but the switch doesn't respond, and time runs out.

His/her finger slips trying to stop the clock, and it stops at (b) :02, (c) :01, (d) :00, or (e) Time expires.

Now, part two
(I) None of the officials look at the clock.
(II) One of the officials is daydreaming and looking at the clock for the whole process - from whistle to stoppage.

In each situation, can the clock be reset, under whose authority/judgement (obviously R has final call), and to what clock setting?
