What is 3-4-6? |
I don't have the book directly in front of me to quote, but 3-4-6 is presumably the rule that says the referee has the discretion to start the clock differently than usual in the event a team attempts to consume/conserve time illegally.
I seem to be in the minority opinion on this, but my approach is that if a team fouls and that creates a timing advantage, they should not get that advantage. So in the original play (4th down run by winning team that reaches the line-to-gain with short time remaining, but there was holding on the play), I will start the clock on the snap - otherwise, team A gets to consume (even more) time through their illegal action.
