Remote Control Scoreboards?

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.

This seems like a stretch to me. It seems more like reverse-lag time than the actual rule. The rule says that if the clock doesn't stop - that's okay. Your interpretation says that if the clock does stop, end the game. Ex:
1.0 seconds - whistle
0.5 seconds - clock stops
Your decision - end game because of lag time?

In another case - late in a tight game, scorer's horn accidentally sounds, officials blow whistle, timer stops clock showing 0:00, and officials leave floor. Timer then comes into locker room saying his display panel shows 0:00.9, and the game horn hasn't sounded. In this situation, it seems like time has expired, but it hasn't.
