I stand corrected on the shot clock issue... If the shot clock is at 25 it means that 10 seconds has elapsed (at least it should mean that on most clocks -- at the D2/D3/JuCo level you never know!)
Well it did not matter in the National Championship game where the shot clock read 25 seconds and Florida got a timeout. Also the official that made the call that sparked this discussion did not come in and make the National Championship game. So there must be some reason he did not make this call again. The shot clock had 10 seconds come off and no violation was called.
