Clock starts early

[Camron Rust]

In this situation, with the horn sounding as the player caught the ball, you know they should have possession with 0.7 on the clock. Set it to 0.7 and give them the ball for a throwin.

If the horn sounded after they caught it but clearly early, you'd have to know how much early to make a correction...and give them the ball for a throwin.

You are really walking a fine line in this situation though aren't you? If you are going to give them the ball then you are asserting that they had possession - in order for them to have possession don't you agree that someamount of time must have run off?

This is why I suggested taking .2-.3 off the clock, its enough for team A to establish possession....

Team A would still have time to catch and shoot. (like they would have had if the clock didn't start early) I'm not going to end the game just because I don't know for sure whether it was .2 or .3 seconds went off the clock. The fact is, I would know for sure that some time should still be on the clock. I would use common sense and leave some amount of time on the clock and Team A has earned the chance to win the game. (by intentionally missing and getting the rebound)
