Clock Situation?????
Situation: 24 seconds left in the game.
Sideline out-of-bounds to Team A. Ball inbounded and there was a shot attempt by Team A, followed by an offensive rebound for Team A and then a 3 pt FG attempt by Team A that was missed and rebounded by Team B. The clock never started. This was not noticed by the officials until the player 1 for Team A as in the act of attempting a 3. An educated guess says that 9 seconds of action had been played. What do you do as an official in this situation? |

If not, discount your guess and have a talk with your partners, where you might get some solid evidence of elapsed time. Also have a chat with the folks at the table. Had they been accurate up to this point? In the absence of any definite knowledge, just play on and keep one eye on the clock... Lesson(s) learned.... Later

There was a disscussion and there were two closely guarded to 3 counts (that computes to at least 6). Anyway ... what should have be done?
Shold the play have been whistled dead when the player was attempting the 3? and then went back to 24 seconds and start over? Should the play have continued with the rebound and told the clock operator to start the clock with no stoppage? |

When the official blew his/her whistle, you can make adjustments to the clock, IF you have definite knowledge of the proper amount of time to remove.
Definite knowledge is not, "well we had 2 three second counts, and don't know anything else. Based on the play you described, Team B has the ball at the nearest spot to where they were when the whistle blew. 24 should still be showing on the clock. Do-overs are not supported in the rules. |

If you have definite knowledge 6 seconds have elapsed, I think you should take 6 seconds off. I'm putting the ball in with 18 seconds in this case, minus any time I counted after that (as the Juggler said). Once I notice the clock hasn't started, I'm giving a visual count until I can kill the play myself.

OK ... this is all good. But, what would you do or what does the rule say to do in this situation?
It was first noticed that the clock had not started when Team A was attempting a 3 ... "you are the ref" - what do you do in this circumstance from this point on? |
