It is not the clock operators job to stop the clock when a coach yells timeout. The clock operator should respond only to the officials.

And BY RULE the whistle stops the clock, not the official thinking that he is granting a time-out request. There is no provision for restoring time which ticks away prior to the sounding of a whistle.

I think we've established you're the only one here who interprets the rule that strictly.

My big problem here is its obvious the crew guessed a second and put that on the clock.

Oh please. There are probably more officials who would say that it's the whistle.

Plus there are all of the timers working NFHS games. When do you expect the timer to stop the clock? When he reads the official's mind?

The OBVIOUS answer is that the whistle is the point at which the clock should stop. No one can contest that.
