The discuss was surrounding 24.9. Like when a shot clock uses tenths of a second.
Which most of ours do not use. That still doesnt make any sense to me at all. I wondering if someone here who has used a tenths of a shot clock could explain this whole mess.
Thanks!

Using tenths of a second is not the factor here. Clocks that read a number can involve tenths of a second before it turns to the next number. The NBA does not display tenths of a second until under 5 seconds. But the clocks in reality if the clock said 24 seconds, it is likely less than that. So the violation really should be 25 or you are giving them actually more time.
