[BMark, just wanted to clear something up with you about the shot clock. When the shot clock reads 35 it is on 35 from 35.0 to 34.1. For example, the shot clock does not start on 35.9 every time we get a new shot clock. When the shot clock reads 25 it is on 25 from 25.0 until 24.1. When the shot clock is on 1 it is on 1 from 1.0 to 0.1. When the shot clock reads 0 it is on 0. According to what you stated earlier than if the shot clock is at 0 than it could actually be at 0.9 which is not true because the horn sounds at 0. I used to not be sure about this as well but it was made clear to me my first year in the CBA. [/B]
I (obviously) can't speak for the CBA, but NCAA 2-13.8 states, "When the shot clock indicates 0:00 but the horn has not sounded, time has not expired." I read that to mean that there is between 0.1 and 0.9 when the clock reads 0. In fact, I saw this on TV during some game over the past week or so.
