Running time sitch

[bainsey]

Charity tournament, equal to men's wreck. Two 20-minute running time halves, running time, with stop time the last two minutes. During running time, the clock only stops during time outs, and at our instruction.

A-1 is fouled while in the act of shooting. Before he shoots his free throws, A-2 requests a time out, which is granted. Clock is stopped with 2:40 left in the second half, B leading (I forget by how much).

After the time-out, I administer the two free throws, and instruct the clock operator to start the clock when A-1 has the ball at his disposal. A-2 objects, saying he called time out, and the clock should start after the free throws. I point out the ball is live when A-1 gets it.

There was no hard, fast rule outlined for this situation, but overall, I believe I had the correct application. Has anyone had anything similar/different in such off-season tournaments?
