Let's say there's an even second (1.0) left with length of the floor to go and they pass it up to frontcourt and call an immediate TO. Clock starts, but before it can get stopped the horn goes off. Should there be time put back on and if so, how much? We (refs) don't have a count in tenths of a second so I'm guessing team is just sol. If we had a rule or standard that would say it's not possible to gain possesion and call a TO in less than say for example, 0.5..then in situations like this we could simply by rule deduct .5 from the previous time showing and play on. That was essentially my point of the post, to ask if anywhere uses a certain standard measure of time, like .5 or .7 in situations like that. |
A) I'm sure "anywhere" does. that doesn't make it right (under today's rules)
B) An official needs to see the time remaining and can then have that time put back.
C) Absent (B), the period has expired.
D) Propose a rules change.
