In other words, the use of a 'count' in lieu of the clock is valid only if applied in real time? It can't be applied after the fact . . .



I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but, the official can't (legally) say "that seemed like longer than 4 seconds" and wave off the basket.

An official other than the trail can have a count -- it's a good idea for at least one official to have a count. The officials can get together after the horn and discuss this -- if one official has a count and is sure the basket came after the period should have ended, that count can be used.
