When in the end game situation, if youaren't responsible for a count, simply count as a backstop to the official timer until you know the clock actually started.
Am I missing something here?

I've gotten in the habit of having at least a mental count on all throw-ins until I see the clock starting. Twice I've ended a quarter (once was the end of a game) with my own count because I was paying attention.
In the middle of the quarter, I just want the timer to start the clock in a reasonable amount of time. End of a quarter, I'll be more strict.
