This means that the shot clock can show 35 but that in reality it is at 34.(something). If the shot clock is reset to 34.0 then you have now taken time away from the team in control.
Is their an interpretation or a case play that describes this situation? I've heard from a number of knowledgeable sources that you have to reset the clock to 34, but I just can't agree with that based on my above argument. Please set me straight if I am wrong.

I'm no expert, as I'm only in my second year of using a shot clock, but using your above logic, I agree. So unless the shotclock shows tenths of a second above 9.9 seconds (I don't think I've ever seen one that does this), I don't know why you'd change it to 34, when it's possible the clock was properly reset and stopped, and .9 or less seconds of time have elapsed.
