End of game situation

[Ed Maeder]

This is why a redo is not the answer. Part C says if throw in is over go to spot of first touch and take some time off the clock. I would take off 3/10ths and in bound from end line closest to where the ball was first touched. You lost your element of surprise. Why should you be penalized for a timing mistake.

Why would you take 3/10ths off when the poster states that the time from catch to release and the horn sounding was about one second?

[Ed Maeder]

Because the only definite knowledge I have is that it takes 3/10ths of a second to catch the ball. Any more or less I would be guessing as the clock was not correct anyway.

Do you have a source for this?

[Ed Maeder]

5-2-5

[just another ref]

.3 is assigned as the amount of time required to catch and shoot. There is no shot to consider in the OP.

To clarify for others, 0.3 is NOT enough time to catch and shoot under NFHS rules, you must have 0.4 seconds or more.

That's a catch-and-shoot, not just a catch.

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

The catch and horn were almost simultaneous. They put 1.9 back on and replayed.

No I didn't.
