Duane,

I'm gonna disagree here. You don't have to assume the
shot clock was started correctly in order to use it as
a reference unless you suspected it was never
stopped. Here's what I mean: If you use a 35 second
shot clock and it shows 20 seconds you can be certain
that at least 15 seconds elapsed. If the shot
clock started late then you still are OK in taking the
15 seconds off the game clock.
