Most banks won't give you a loan against a 1981 Buick.

If there are 3.0 seconds left in this scenario I think you either reset the clock to 3.0 or (gulp) 2.7.

I'm resetting it to 3.0 because I never chopped time to begin the clock. Therefore, there is a timing error in my opinion.

I apologize that I understand the logic that 3 tenths has to run off the clock. I just don't think that is the right in this situation.

The three tenths rule is ONLY a rule in the NBA. There is no such rule for NFHS games.

At the moment, the proper timing for a play in which a defender kicks an inbounds pass if for the timer to start the clock on the chop by the official (or on the touch if the official fails to chop per 5-9-1) and then quickly stop the clock upon hearing the whistle for the kicking violation.

So how much time should come off for this situation in an NFHS game? However long it takes the timer to turn the clock on and then off when responding to the officials whistle. Under the current NFHS rules that amount is NOT zero seconds.

This is why my first post on this stated that I hope that the NFHS amends its rule to match the NCAA and then the correct answer will be zero seconds.

I seem to recall some NCAA rule / AR that deals with this as well -- there's no minimum, but the official is supposed to be sure the clock started and then stopped.
