It can certainly be taken in a different manner just as the exam question that I posted. Some may believe that the answer to that question should be true and could make a good case for that.

This is what the OP was saying.
The referee was saying that the rules don't allow the quarter to be shortened.
The answer was meant to be the official was incorrect. Upon the referee's agreement, by rule, a quarter may be shortened at any time as long as the two coaches and referee agree.

If he didn't, then he will learn something from this thread too. I don't know what he thought process was, but we might find out.  |
