My understanding is with under 1:00 to go in the game, if you blow the whistle to retrieve the ball when its just bouncing around, it technically is an inadvertant whistle, because you had no reason to blow it, since the clock was stopped. I was told the best way to handle that is, if the ball gets loose afterwards, no matter where it goes (unless of course its a delay of game by one of the teams) that you would just get the ball, not blow your whistle, give the ball to the inbounder and continute play. If you dont blow your whistle you dont even have to deal with the technicalities of the rule. Just my thoughts. . .
