Try reading it this way: "...providing time did not PROPERLY / LEGALLY expire before ..."

Or, try this:

Score: A 65, B 62. You blow the whistle with 1.5 left for a simple violation (OOB, say). The clock continues to run and the horn sounds. Coach A hears the horn and, umm, creatively expresses his disgust with the officiating effort. You correctly issue a T. Do you shoot the throws?

By your logic, I'd guess no -- the T occurred after time expired and the shots wouldn't affect the score. So now you're going to put time back on the clock (.5 seconds in FED) and continue the game??

I think you have to shoot the throws (regardless of the score) and continue the game. And, I think you need to count the basket in the original situation.
Totally different situations you guys keep throwing out. What makes you dream up that I wouldn't shoot shots on a T, or ignore a violation? My logic is simply this: By the horn going off, I have DEFINITE KNOWLEDGE that A1 would not/did not release the ball before the horn. Therefore, I am going to wave the shot, give him two shots, put .5 seconds back on the clock. Don't start putting words in my mouth or saying, if this or if that happened. It didn't: this supposedly happened, though, it will never, ever happen in an actual game without divine intervention.

And, btw, it doesn't say ...providing that time did not PROPERLY/LEGALLY expire before... It shouldn't have to how else can time expire, as Coach says. I'm not saying that time "is" expired, just that it expired for a period, I put time back on the clock, but the error gave me enough additional knowledge to apply common sense to my interpretatin of the rules.
