Let's kill two birds with one stone and submit a new rule for 2006-2007:
ALL shot clocks MUST display the tenths of a second (i.e. 35.0, 34.9, 34.8, etc) AND the 10-sec violation will be called when a full :10 have elapsed as determined by the shot clock.
Now there will be no argument from any coaches, players, or officials that when the shot clock shows 25.5 remaining, everyone will know that only 9.5 seconds have elapsed (and therefore NO violation has occurred).
I hope everyone feels better now. Just like I tell my kids - "there's a solution to every problem"...
