As the official rules a three-second lane violation, he/she properly sounds the whistle and gives the signal to stop the clock. While doing this, the official is able to see the exact time remaining in the fourth quarter. The clock shows five seconds remaining. The timer stops the clock:
(a) at five seconds;
(b) at four seconds;
(c) at three seconds; or
(d) the time runs out completely.
No correction is needed in
(a). In
(b),
(c) and
(d), the referee will order five seconds put on the clock.
