Do you wait until a player touches the ball before starting the clock?

What choices do you think there are?

Maybe when it is apparent that the FT is missed. Thought of not required to wait to start clock until legally touched by a player.

Have you checked the rule book under Duties of the Timer?

The clock starts when the ball is legally touched inbounds.

The clock stops when the whistle blows.

It's not that hard.

Think Bob hit the rule in its most basic form.
