Thanks for explaining this, Jim. I was watching that game, and my family was asking what was happening, and I couldn't tell them. The clocks on the TV (shot and game) were clearly not exactly right. One question: The announcer kept saying that the shot left the player's hand before the shot clock hit 0. I thought the rule was it had to hit the rim before 0. Is this another stupid announcer thing, or is it another not-very-experienced-me thing? Also, isn't it true that the clock has another second to go AFTER the 0 shows on the shot clock -- because it doesn't show the tenths? And so, the horn or buzzer will be a full second after the 0 shows on the shot clock?
