Snaq - yes, I guess fundamentally, that was my question. There are rules that indicate the clock stops upon the ref's "signal," or "signaling." (Fouls, held ball, etc.) And since there is no signal for a made basket, that's exactly what I was wondering. "Recognize" is usually a word used in the rule where there is some discretion or judgment implied, and the clock stops if the act is "recognized" (e.g., a timeout).
But the notion of "recgoniz[ing]" a made basket seems odd. I've also seen it happen at the end of college games where the amount of time placed back on the clock after a made basket is less than the amount of time plainly on the clock when the ball clears the net.
Anyway, the NCAA rule is 5-9.10.
