So if a shot clock shows '0', has a violation occurred?
Haven't we discussed this before, but for game clocks?

Question came up as old fashioned mechanical scoreboards (click, click, click) became modern digital scoreboards, and when tenths of a second began being displayed. Some posters commented that some scoreboards showed a slightly different time on the scoreboard versus the console.
