Quite true, and precisely why I agreed with this previous post.
The only way that the game officials should return to the court and continue the game is if they have first consulted with someone from the governing authority such as the state association.

True, but doesn't have to be limited to just those. As the "responsible administrative authorities" aren't the scorer, timer, or on-court game officials, state association could certainly use this rule as a basis for picking up at the start of an extra period, if it so desires.
