Joking aside... Without guidance from game admin, I would start the clock when it would start again by rule, as if there was no running clock. |
The key difference here is there IS a running clock. That is, if you're in running time, you call a shooting foul, and no-one requests a time-out, the clock runs during the free throws. How is this any different after a time out? I say the most fair time to start the clock is when the ball becomes live.
Didn't think about chopping time in, though. That's an amusing observation. I usually (not always) chop time in after a throw-in during running time, but only to keep good habits, and it's usually a half-hearted chop. The timekeeper ignores these signals, anyway.
