I also thought there was a one second delay in the electronics, timer pressing the stop button, etc. At 35 or 34 seconds, I'm not going to look for extra work to do. It's 35 coach. You get a fresh new 10 seconds to bring it up the court if backcourt to frontcourt. If it's stays in the FC, 35 seconds. Play ball. There is no way you could ever convince me that the game is going to come down to this one second. I'm not changing nothing.

I had a HS game where there was 2.1 seconds left after a OOB play to go in a one point game. The coach argued that the game clock should say 3.1 seconds. I told the coach there's a one second delay so there's the one second. Had he said 4.1 seconds, I could have put 3.1 seconds on the clock, but since he insisted that it should be 3.1. I had nothing to go back to the table with, plus I did not have definite knowledge cause I was watching to see which way my partner was going to go with the ball. Clock was secondary.
