End of Game Clock- Rule vs GM
Girls Varsity, 7.2 sec left in 4th, home (H) team down by 11. (30-19, neither side is scoring much)
H1 has ball on side line for throw in. H1 throws ball, and V1 slaps it, ball bounces inbounds and goes back out, will be Home ball again. All of this happens bang-bang. So fast that the administering official never chopped the clock.
Clock does not start, so 7.2 still on clock.
No one on the crew has definite knowledge, just that the clock did not start/stop. All agree that it SHOULD have started. (would any on you have definite knowledge in this situation)
What do you do?
1; Nothing, no definite knowledge.
2: Have timer start/stop clock quick so "reaction time" goes off. (.3 to .4 sec I would guess)_
3: Nothing, Game management dictates this is not critical, so play on.
Is your answer different in a 2 point game? (Game Management?)
Is it different if 6:25 is left on the clock?
