[Ed Maeder]

How much time would you all take off the clock then?

How about one second?

The definite knowledge would be what?

If I'm an official in such a situation I can have a count. I also look at the clock when I chop in time to make certain that I starts properly in late game situations.
In this situation, the poster told us that it took about one second.

PS Why are you being "defiant"?

No I didn't.

You knew what I meant.

Not talking about your play. I wrote poster, not OP.

Officials convene and after some discussion decide that it was a timing error and we retry from 2.4. Needless to say we didn't get as good of a shot off on the redo.

All of this just goes to show over and over again that the table personnel clock operators never pay attention to our "chop the clock" signals. They just go by what they think is the 'common sense' way to do things. I've had clock operators start the clock when the ball is in-bounded by rolling it on the floor by A1 and A2 had yet to start a dribble--ball just rolling from the backcourt to frontcourt---and she started the clock. I had words with her and we put back all the time on the clock, it was embarrassing for her though, close game.

A 40 point blowout recently and a ball hits the floor inbounds and bounces towards OOB......tick tick tick....and I'm waiting for the horn to blow before putting a whistle on the OOB....and the clock operator helpfully stops the clock with 0.3 seconds left without a whistle.
