(Most) shot clocks operate differently than (most) game clocks.
The shot clock shows 25 but doesn't switch to 24 until a full second has elapsed. The horn will sound (nearly) immediately when the clock shows zero. The "real" time remaining is between .0 and .9 LESS than what is showing. When the clock shows 25, the te4am has had 10 full second in the back court and a violation should be called.
The game clock show 8:00 and switches to 7:59 (well, with .1 seconds) immediately when it starts. The horn won't sound until a second after the 0:00 shows. The "real" time remaining is .0 to .9 HIGHER that the time in the display. When the clock shows 7:50 (say on a throw-in to start Q2, Q3 or Q4) the team has had 9 to 9.9 seconds in the BC and a violation should not be called (ignore the FED admonition against using the clock for a BC violation here)
