Inboudn play with 2.8 seconds left

You also have a timing error in 5.10.1.C, but it was with the official's count, so by rule it can not be fixed. Our play is no different, you have an official who DID not do the prescribed mechanic correctly, thus causing time to expire.

I read this differently - 5.10.1(C) says that you cannot correct the OFFICIAL based on the CLOCK (i.e., call a 10 second violation, give the ball to B, and reset the clock to 2 seconds).

In this case, the official was not following prescribed mechanics - where in the rule book, case book, or official's manual does it say to signal the clock to start before the throw-in is legally touched inbounds? (On an inbounds play, of course.)
