For me, with 6 seconds to go, I always have a count. If I get to two and the clock hasn't moved, I'm stopping the game, resettin the clock to 4 seconds, and adminstering a new throw-in from the POI.
Agree. The official should stop it immediately when they see the clock not starting. It is unfair to the team to let it play down to 2 or 1 and declare the game over when they are expecting to have 1 or 2 more seconds to get to their shot.

Counting down to some point and declaring the game over would be the wrong game management decision.
