Not that it really matters.
Someone has got to be on the clock, during this situation. If the clock does not start in the back court you have definate knowledge of the time by the backcourt count.
On our crews with less than 10 seconds and a dead ball - someone should be counting so that there is knowledge in these situations.
These situations have to be covered in your pregame and reviewed durrin the time out so that you are on top of the situation.
Shame on the clock operator and the crew for not responding immediately.

The game should be stopped as soon as the error is noticed in this situation.

Then shoot the clock operator and get one who will work with you.

Thanks for your comments. As it happens, I wasn't involved.

Then what?
