NFHS took out the "lag" time references several years ago.

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.

That's not quite right, Denny.
If the timer stops the clock within (and including) 1 second, you leave the clock where it is.
If the timer lets more than 1 second run off the clock, then it's reset to the time of the whistle.
(That's FED, of course. In NCAA it's always set to the time of the whistle, and video can be used (if available at the table) to get it right.)
