Let it play out and manually count?

Kill the play once we know the clock hasn't started and restart the situation?

Thoughts?

Does it change when there is only 1.2 seconds on the clock?

Thanks
Tough scenario....

"The clock starts at least a second or two late." Must have definite knowledge; Is it 1 or 2?

Presuming you have "definite knowledge"; player control (only having team control with a loose ball thats about to get stolen, good luck with that), blow it dead, correct the time and resume throw in closest to where the ball was at the whistle blown.

There was a test question this year on the Refresher Exam similar to this play.
