Mark, with all due respect, none of the case plays that you mention are about the play being discussed either. In none of the case plays does the official signal incorrectly for the time to start. That is the crux of the play. Whether it is a timer's error, or an official's error. I must ask you this and it is a one word answer from you that I request.

According to 5-9-1, did the timer start the clock correctly? IE when the official chopped it in?

And don't forget that we have to give the timer the leeway of a couple of seconds to stop the clock once it is started.

Thanks
David
