Timer's mistake.

Just one question for MTD, why is it a timers mistake now, when in the last situation, it was an officials mistake??

In the previous thread that has since been deleted, the (Trail) official that administered the throw-in signaled for the clock to start before the clock should have started. The Timer started the clock when the Trail official signaled time-in. The Trail official's signaling time-in too soon is of no consequence. The rules are quite specific as to when the clock is to start. The Timer's mistake is what is important in the previous thread as well as in the play that I posted in this thread. See NFHS R5-S9-A4.
