I think your missing the point some though - as I did at first. Just because the rule says a player can spike the ball to stop the clock, nowhere is it clear that means they *can't* spike the ball under normal legal spike circumstances.
What was the intent of that line about spiking the ball? Was it:
A) just to make it clear that a spike to stop the clock (as any other spike when not under duress) is legal?
OR
B) to make it clear that only a spike when the clock is running is legal but a spike when the clock is running is not?
It's badly worded, but my money leans toward A.
