stoppage of the clock

And why would I be privy to that information? I live 3,000 miles away from you.

My point exactly.

The bottom line is we can debate, go back and forth about this issue all day. Unless anyone here is sitting on the league committee or has the handbook or the league rules in their possession, this is just a hollow discussion. He can go back and take anything we say, but none of us here have any credibility with that league. Our word means nothing if we do not work the league. We also do not know what the officials were told either. It is possible they were told to run the clock on the ready. It is possible they assumed that is the way the clock was suppose to be operated. It is also possible that the person he talked to "assumed" that was the timing applied, but does not understand the ramifications of that kind of choice. It is also possible that no one ever made an issue of this. We can assume all kind of things, but what anyone says here means nothing. Jeffb can go right to the individuals and throw this in their face and they could dismiss it like an ant on the street. This is just an interesting conversation as to what we think might apply without knowing all the "players" that run the league or who assign the officials.
