It seems to me a far greater penalty to not let me attempt a last minute shot when the horn goes after the whistle but within one second. End of the game, down by one, and the defense tips it OOB with .5 on the clock, that's a legitimate scoring opportunity and chance to win the game that I lose out on by NF rules if horn goes after whistle. Why should a simple shot clock violation be any different? In both cases, we have knowledge that whistle came before the horn, but NF allows lag time on the game clock. parts is parts, and clocks is clocks
We can't go to replay like NBA and NCAA, we have no knowledge on which to work, so how can you reset the shot clock? Keep it simple seems to be the NF rule for timing, so when shot clock is used, I say follow that guideline.
