Game Clock Rule

[SCFLDad]

Yes, that's my question. The 2008 NCAA rules (3-2-5a) states that "When the clock has been stopped for any of the following incidents, it will start on the signal by the referee [S2]", which indicates that it will only start after the "start clock" or wind signal. I assume that it will not start if the ref only gives the "ready-for-play" [S1] signal.

The 2008 UIL/HS rules for high school make an exception to this rule by reverting to the 2005 NCAA rules which (3-2-5b) states: "If the clock was stopped for incidents 1 through 11, it shall be started on the ready-for-play signal". I assume that this means it will start for a "ready-to-play" [S1] signal, regardless if the ref gives the "start clock" or wind signal [S2].
