The original poster referred to lag time, he was referring to his blowing the whistle just before the horn sounded. His partner said there was less than a second on the clock when the whistle blew, so there is no requirement to put time on the clock.

When the horn sounds, the game is over unless the referee has definite knowledge that time should be added to the clock. There is no rule that says if a clock runs on the concept of stupidity, the clock can add time back to itself

When the officials left the visual confines of the arena, the final score was official and the game was over.

Now, what rules are you basing your stand on?
