An official can have a count in his or her head. Such a count could easily get you to half or a full second. If you get to a full second, game over. If half, then put it in play with .4. Some will note that you could get a fairly accurate count down to tenths of a second, but that's a harder sell IMO. I might be willing to sell quarters if I was cognizant enough to actually count it.
