Could they have used the trail's count and put one second on the clock and inbound where the POI was on the whistle?

It was handled incorrectly. The trail's count of 2 is definite knowledge of time ran off the clock. If the count was at 2, then they should reset the clock to 1 second, and resume play from the POI.
