And the reasoning behind lag time works for both situations - you don't want to try to micromanage the clock in every HS and MS gym in the country, just fix major timing blunders. It holds true for shot clock (when used) and for game clock.

Problem is states that use the shot clock need to have a set of rules that deal with it - there are many issues beyond lag time that need to be considered when a shot clock is used- and most, if not all use the ncaa shot clock rules & interps. And ncaa does not recognize lag time. Now you're wondering why I can't use a monitor to fix a shot clock error at the end of a period. You can't do that at a fed game because the fed rules ban the use of replay equipment, period. If the fed decides to include an option for shot clock then they could write the rules governing the fed shot clock any way they like. But so far they haven't.
