Refresher Test Questions - putting time back on the clock?

[rfp]

There are a couple of questions on this year's refresher test that have the official putting time back on the clock due to an error of some sort. As far as I know, there is no provision for ever putting time back on the clock except when the clock was not properly stopped due to a timer's error and the official has definite knowledge of the correct time.

Are there any other conditions I'm not aware of that would allow an official to put time back on the clock?

That's the exact situation the test is referring to, thanks. I don't see any rules justification for this, and I note that the casebook refers to it as a "specific unsporting act" requiring, I guess, a specific -- and unique -- treatment. I guess this is on the test to make sure we're reading the casebook end to end.

Quarter (or OT) starts with less than the required amount of time on the clock.

You can also take time off the clock if the OT starts with more than 4 minutes, can't you? You can only reduce it to 4, though, I think.

Right -- if it's discovered while still showing more than 4 minutes, reduce to 4 minutes. Otherwise, leave it alone.

If the OT starts with more than 4 minutes take your hand and smack it against your forehead....then take the extra time off...

did you all notice the case play (not sure if new, probably not and therefore probably this is rehashing old ground, but . . .) that says you have 12 seconds on the clock and you then have the time run out while the ball is still in the backcourt; seems like this would be the perfect opportunity to say, hey I know that there was 12 to start and you only get 10 in backcourt so I have definite knowledge to put 2 back; but caseplay says you cannot put it back; thoughts on how to understand that one?

Yes.

The fed wants the official to keep the count, not rely on any clocks.

The clock and the 10 count don't necessarily start at the same time. The clock can start first and have time get below 10 before control is established.
