I have to disagree, Jurassic.

If the official is not looking at the clock, blows the whistle, and then looks at the clock, by casebook play we are told to assume that the time between whistle and look is 1 second. That invokes the "1 second lag time" requirement of resetting the clock. We then reset the clock to the time that we saw when we looked up.

If the official is looking at the clock, the timer gets 1 second from the time displayed when the whistle blows. If the clock runs for more than 1 second, we reset the clock to the time displayed when the whistle blew.

If there was 0.6 on the clock when the whistle blew, and the official was NOT looking at the clock, we have our 1 second by interpretation. As such, if the official looks up (very quickly) and sees :00.6, he/she has to reset the clock to 0.6.

If the official saw the clock at :00.6 when the whistle blew, game over, no lag time applies.

Is the confusion stemming from the interpretation change a few years back? I know that, in the second situation (ref looking), you would give 1 second of lag time, and then reset the clock to that lag-timed value of time.

Either way, I agree with Chuck's proposal.
