As soon as one of the jumpers touch the ball it is legally touched!

Not sure why you would need to know how much time ran off from the time it was touched to when it went OOB. The only time you might have to reset the clock on a jump ball is if the ball is tossed and neither player touches the ball & the clock starts to run. You would re jump with a reset clock then.

Interesting....I suppose I always read that section as starting the clock when the "tapped" ball is legally touched, not the "tossed" ball...honestly this seems inconsistent to me with articles 3 & 4...

The only way you don't start the clock when the jumpers touch the ball is if they illegally touch it. When they legally touch the ball, the clock starts.

Two completely different scenario's! The clock still is starting once the ball is legally touched or touches a player inbounds.

I understand that it is two different scenarios...here is an interesting question, if a jumper taps the ball and it goes through the basket does it count?

From there, on the second jump ball, if the clock moved at all you could have reset it to where it was before you threw the second jump since you have definite knowledge that it shouldn't have run at all...

Oh my! Do you recall the other thread in which we were discussing working college ball and not knowing the rules?!! The same applies to NFHS games.

Go read 5-9-2 immediately!

No.
