Basic question - when is the CLOCK supposed to start? Answer - when the final pass is touched inbounds. If the clock starts before then, there is an obvious timing error (I don't care who caused it) and it needs to be fixed.

I've agreed with that all along. That's also why I can't understand how you can put anything less than 2.8 seconds back on the clock when that's the only "official information" on time that you have on this play.
