NFHS rules plus a bit of experience as timer

(1) Count the basket - what the coach said (at least up here) about the ball being dead is BS - you can have a live ball with the clock stopped (free throw, anyone) and a dead ball with the clock running (after made basket).

(2) Let the timer know that the horn should be held until the basket is successful. In this case, you have a shot clock so there is some form of timing the play. If there wasn't, I would recommend that the timer leave the clock where it is, and use a stopwatch.
