Shot clock question

Had he argued 2 seconds, I could not say there's 1 second lag time. This scenario is why I think they removed the wording in the rulebook.

I understand your point I was just pointing out that what you said was incorrect in case anyone was learning. Who knows they may go back to a lag time.

You don't have to come up with anything. If you, your partner or the table don't have definite knowledge then by rule you cannot fix it. This is the rule even if 10 seconds came off the clock.
