Here's a weird clock question

[Larks]

Maybe I missed it...

A1 holds ball over boundry line on an AP throw in and was tied up.

So mechanically, I see 99.999995% of officials kill it before chopping and going immediately into a held ball signal.

Most timers arent going to pluck the "start clock" thingy on and off real quick in this sitch.

No way anyone has knowledge of time consumed.

Without knowledge, how are we addressing this aspect of the OP by rule?

We're addressing it by 5-9-4 (I think you missed it). Clock does not start here.

Oh....AFTER it's released!!

To quote the poet laureate Rosanne Rosannadan...nevermind

Jump ball to start the game...both jumpers touch the ball legally. Are you saying you won't start the clock when the jumpers touch the ball? Because according to what you just stated, it wouldn't start since there is no team/player control in this situation...

The rule has already been posted earlier as to when the clock should be correctly started.

C'mon chseagle. You're slipping. This was a softball for you. You should have knocked it out of the park.

At least I struck out swinging & trying to understand.

Nope, you should try to understand by asking questions, not answering them.

So sayeth the kinder, gentler JR....

I was both asking & answering questions.

As soon as I can get things better with my knee, I am looking at joining the ranks of Floor Officials.

My wife is wanting to become a floor official as well.

So now you're a Brontosaurus instead of a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Others have commented on the meaning of that statement.

I would like to commend you on using the proper "have" instead of your usual "of" in this situation.

Thank you.
