No controversy, nothing on the ESPN of a possible error, no suspension for the crew. I would think this would be the right way to handle it.

Although I can't quote a particular game, it seems like I've seen a similar play. That is, failure of the clock to start, in which the officials have taken time off the clock, even in the front court, by estimating somehow.
