I work with a women's college official (also one of my assignors) who absolutely insists on taking off .3 seconds in this situation where the ball was touched out of bounds and no time came off.
I have never taken time off arbitrarily like that but I am considering starting to do so. It seems like the right thing to do, and is not explicitly outlawed by rule. |

0.3 is the rule of thumb for the other guy, I would be taking off what I estimated to be appropriate, not necessarily 0.3 each time. Could be anywhere from 0.1 to 0.9.

However, I think Arem is stepping off the plank if he thinks he can differentiate between 0.1 and 0.9.

Yeah I saw that. My problem is my HS association is more concerned about putting out memos on uniform regulations and using the "high school" blocking foul signal. State rules interpreters ate almost nonexistent and no one uses them anyway. So it is up to me to interpret the NFHS rules for myself.

Not 0.1 vs 0.2, sure, that level of accuracy is probably beyond just about everyone. But accuracy is not required. If you get to 3 in a 5 count and have to use that to take off time, you could easily be anything 2.7 or 3.5 in reality, but that is good enough. It is definite even if it isn't accurate or precise. And it isn't hard to get partial seconds to a reasonable level of accuracy. I think all of us have counted with Mississippi's or similar.... One - thou - sand - one, One - thou - sand -two, etc.Each syllable is a quarter second. You get through two syllables, you've got 0.5 seconds. You get only one, you have 0.2 or 0.3. If you're in mid-syllable, go with the shorter time.
