Dead ball fouls and clock

[STEVED21]

So are you saying that a dead-ball foul DOES NOT stop the clock. It is however the official's timeout to administer the penalty which stops the clock. I just want to make sure that is what you have found. Because if that is what you are saying then when there is a delay of game by the offense whether the clock was running prior to the foul or not we do not wind the clock on the RFP. Thus #99 on Exam 1 is false.

You're really splitting hairs here. To be technical, the clock operator is who really stops the clock.

On a dead ball foul, an official's time out is called. I don't know what else you would call it.
