NFHS took out the "lag" time references several years ago. And replaced it with 5-10-1 which references "definitive information" relative to the time involved. 5-10-2 adds to that by allowing the official's count or other official information for use in making a correction. It used to be that if an official observed the clock to read 1:55 as the whistle blew and the clock continued to run 1:54,1:53,1:52, etc. you would reset to 1:54 giving the timer an allowance for "lag" time. That provision no longer exists and as long as the official(s) have definite information that the whistle blew at 1:55 you should reset to 1:55. Allowing "lag" time at 1:55 of any period might not be a problem however, allowing "lag" time with only a few seconds left could have harrowing ramifications.
