Clarifications to situation.
Team B had no opposition on lane for rebound, cleanly rebounded and yelled TO at same time after having given advance warning of the desire for an immediate TO. Whistle blew immediately at time of rebound. Should 1 second delay apply, or should the clock sit at 2.2 seconds?

I feel like I'm repeating myself but
the clock has to start and stop. The clock starts when the ball is touched, not when it's possessed. The timer did an excellent job to stop the clock within 6/10's of a second. You can't rebound the ball and expect no time to come off the clock, it doesn't matter how clean the rebound is, how many players and coaches yell timeout or how many times you tell the official you want a TO if you get the ball.
If someone can show me a rule which contradicts 5-8-3a,b, 5-9-3, and 5.10.1b Comment, then I'll agree with you completely. Don't give an opinion, reference a rule to back up you position.
