Have to agree with Rutledge

Ball is not OOB. Whistle blows it dead on horn. The horn sounded spontaneously, so I won't kill the timer who was excellent throughout. The clock malfunctioned--it stopped through no action of...

What's wrong of being aware of the game situation?

I think I've got to chime in with JRut and Kelvin on this one. Here is my reasoning:
