I had THAT play tonight (timer error)

[drothamel]

It would appear to me that the do-over, while supported by rule, is also supported by common sense. If I have definite knowledge of the time on the clock, 1 second in this case, and I know that the clock was started improperly, and I wasn't able to blow the whistle before the instant when the throw-in ended (the ball landing out of bounds), why wouldn't I let them do it over?

If, for example, the clock was started improperly resulting in the horn sounding miliseconds before the throw-in ended, or at least close enough that sounding my whistle would have been impossible, then I think common sense application of the rule dictates a do-over.

What do y'all think?
