I can't agree with that.
Sorry, Camron, but it isn't that simplistic imo. It would be nice if it was...but it just isn't.

It sure is that simple. The defense stops the clock with the foul. That gives the shooter all the time it takes to complete the shooting motion. The fact that you've got a slow (homer) timer shouldn't change that.
