Yabut....same question....if you blow your whistle with 0.4 seconds on the clock just after the shooter gathered the ball, are you completely, 100% sure that the shooter now has sufficient time to fully complete their shooting motion and get the ball in the air before that 0.4 seconds ended? And you don't know for sure whether it was 1.4 seconds or 0.4 seconds or even 0.1 seconds, do you? So....how can you be so sure the ball actually would be in the air if the timer stopped the clock immediately on your whistle?
