Mistaken clock not starting error

[Camron Rust]

This is so much simpler than the 3 pages of posts suggest.

Parallel Situation: Held Ball. Arrow to A. Official erroneously gives ball to B. Before the ball is touched inbounds, the official realizes the error and blows the whistle. The ruling is to give the ball to A for the deserved AP throwin. If the ball had been touched inbounds, it would be too late.

The case being discussed here is EXACTLY the same. A whistle is blown when the ball is not in control of either team. And, there is a presribed throwin due to one of the teams as a result of the prior infraction.

If the whistle is blown before the throwin ends (and it is not due to a new infraction), you revert to the original reason that a throwin was occuring to begin with and start it over. No AP involved at all unless the original throwin was supposed to be and AP throwin.
