At a bare minimum, if the trail official was doing his job, he would have been counting (visibly and silently?) as the ball was being brought to mid court. He could have taken AT LEAST that amount of time off the game clock as it was "specific information" he could have used to correct a timing error. Help me out here esteemed members, but isn't that the gist of the new Fed rule this year?
