You are both correct. Some time should come off, but the NFHS also needs to adopt a rule such as the NBA has mandating a minimum amount of time that must come off in these single touch then immediate dead ball situations.
Until the NFHS does that, I am chopping the clock and blowing the whistle. We are going to stick with whatever the timer gets from quickly starting and stopping the clock. I can't count in tenths of a second, so I can't have definite knowledge to deduct anything if the timer fails to start the clock.
