The horn was not supposed to sound. If you put time back on the clock, then you're saying that the horn didn't sound. It never happened.

6-7 EXCEPTION: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends when:

Time didn't expire if you put one second back on the clock.

Just because the clock did not stop when it should have I am not going to afford him any more time to release the shot than he would have if the clock properly stopped. You are trying to say that A1 is fouled and it takes him more than 1.5 seconds to release a shot. I think this is a moot point because it most likely would have to occur with less than one second to go to be physically possible.

If the clock properly stops, then he has until returns to the floor to release the shot. You are not affording "him any more time."
I'm not really addressing whether it's likely to happen or not. It is possible. If the clock isn't properly stopped, then you have to credit the basket. If you chose not to, all I can say is that it's your @ss, not mine.
