Shove the rule book up your a** and use common sense. to play the game properly the players have to know how much time they have to shoot the ball. This is the stupidiest thing I have ever heard.

Well it does not work that way. I know if the officials did not follow the rule; they would lose their jobs or be suspended. You really think an officials is going to give up their money for you, or a coach that is making 10 times the amount they are on just this game alone? You are dumber than I thought in the first place. Sorry, that is not going to happen because you do not like the rules. So you can shove the so-called common sense up your ***, because it does not apply here.

Peace

Sure you could do this... however, you better pack your bags as you would no longer be working in the conference and probably wouldn't get picked up by any other conference.

It might seem silly, unfair or whatever. But, the set of rules and procedures that make what the officials did were approved by the coaches. As it was already said, if they don't like it, they will change it.

End of story...move on.

Question about the rule as it appears now. What is the time limit for reviewing and making the clock adjustment? Is it only on that dead ball which immediately follows the error?

Rule 2-13-2...

It is true that the timing correction must be made in the half or extra period in which it occurred and not later, but there is more to the restrictions than just that. The correction actually must be made within the CE timeframe.

For games without a monitor:
================================================
RULE 5
Section 11. Timing Mistakes and Malfunctions
The following articles pertain to mistakes and malfunctions in games played
without a replay/television equipment. For timing mistakes and malfunctions
in games with replay/television equipment, see Rule 2-13.
Art. 1. When an obvious timing mistake has occurred because of the failure
to start or stop the game clock properly, the mistake shall be corrected only
when the referee has definite information relative to the time involved. After
the mistake of either starting or stopping the game clock, such a mistake
shall be corrected during the first dead ball but before the next/second live
ball is touched inbounds or out of bounds by a player other than the throwerin.
When the clock should have been continuously running, the mistake
shall be corrected before the second live ball is touched inbounds or out of
bounds by a player other than the thrower-in.
=====================================
For game with a courtside monitor:

Section 13. Games with Replay/Television Equipment
Art. 1. Courtside replay equipment, videotape or television monitoring must
be located on a designated courtside table (i.e., within approximately 3 to
12 feet of the playing court), in order to be utilized by game officials. An
on-screen graphic display on the monitor may be used only when the display
is synchronized with the official game clock.
Art 2. Officials may use such available equipment only in the following
situations:...
c. Timing.

1. Determine whether the game clock or shot clock malfunctioned. A
correction to the game clock must be made in the half or extra period
in which it occurred. A correction to the shot clock must be made in
the shot clock period in which it occurred.
2. Determine whether a timing mistake has occurred in either starting or
stopping the game clock. Determination is based on the judgment of
the official. After the mistake to either start or stop the game clock,
such a mistake shall be corrected during the first dead ball or during
the next live ball but before the ball is touched inbounds or out of
bounds by a player. When the clock should have been continuously
running, the mistake shall be corrected before the second live ball is
touched inbounds or out of bounds by a player. No timing mistake
correction shall be carried over from one half or extra period
to another. Such a mistake shall be corrected before the start of
intermission.

Quite easy to say when it's not your job/schedule that's on the line if you don't do it by the book.
