[bigwhistle]

This is not a shot clock violation by rule. Poorly written, the AR is saying that the inadvertant whistle occurred when the shot clock horn sounded. Because of the inadvertant whistle, the AP will be used with a new shot clock.

The interesting part of the AR comes when the same senerio occurs and the shot is successful. The rule book states that under this circumstance that both the shot clock horn AND THE WHISTLE shall be ignored and play will continue. Is there any other instance where an official's whistle of any kind is ignored and play continues?
