Just because I'm feelin' picky today, but:

"More than 8 seconds" is not the same thing as "9 consecutive seconds". More than 8 means 8.1 seconds. And, 9 is greater than 8.1, by almost a full second.

I don't follow enough of the NBA rules, but are there other instances where they use this type of language? Granted, in reality, it's probably the same thing. But I'm just wondering why they chose that specific wording.

Gawd, does this mean I'm turning into a NevadaRef?
