That's the rub.

Now I get it (JRutledge's viewpoint). That's why we disagree. But now I can see his side.

JRutledge is saying that the shot clock guideline ten second mechanic "trumps" 9-8 in games with a shot clock.

Two different ten second rules for two different games, with a shot clock, and without a shot clock.

Still disagree, but I get it.
To me this is a solution looking for a problem. If your state never uses a shot clock, not an issue is it? You do not need the same rule for both situations.

It is like the mercy rule or the state finals using video replay. If you are not in those places that uses such situations, you really do not have to worry about the differences. And maybe states will set up some guidelines anyway both rules and mechanically.

Peace
