The thing is there is no right or wrong answer because if this is not in the rulebook then the Referee can make any decision they want to because it is not directly in the rulebook. I am pretty sure there used to be a casebook play giving some guidance, but I could not find anything in the current books.

We have a couple of coaches around here that I would not put it past to have an agreement with their clock operator to do this at just the right time.
