I have scavenged the NFHS Rule and Case Books, and there is no definitive case book situation that spells it out, unless I am not looking in the right place. Instead, it is broken over different situations, which becomes somewhat confusing and arduous to decipher.

The rule is written so that in the absence of certain conditions, the clock runs. If none of those conditions are met, the clock should run. The burden should be on those who claim it stops to give a rule reference.
