During a subsequent timeout, the U who is my usual BJ asked if I should have held the clock since A got a free 25ish seconds?

At what point do you hold the clock? 2 minutes? 1? 4?

If you feel the team got the false start intentionally, then don't start the clock on the RFP, otherwise, if clock was running, wind it.
