rulesmaven,
Just so you don't think you're completely crazy for thinking there might be another way to do things, in the NBA, the rule is the way you suggest. If a basket is scored with more than 2:00 remaining in the 4th quarter or OT, and the ball is not inbounded before the game clock reaches 2:00, then the clock is stopped until the ball is touched inbounds. The game clock must be stopped anytime the ball is not in play during the last 2:00 of the game. (The above explanation also applies during the last 1:00 of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters.)
It just so happens that the rule is written differently in the NCAA. No big whoop. Just two ways of interpreting the same kind of rule.
