So what happens if the kicked ball occurs with more than 14.0 seconds but less than 15.0 seconds remaining? Do we reset or not?

The rule states 14 seconds and 15 seconds as the boundary for the kick rule. It does not state 14.0 seconds or 15.0 seconds. Another way of saying this is we do not need to be accurate to the 10s of seconds, we only need to be accurate to the second.
So for our purposes it does not matter where between 14.9999999999999999999999999999999.... and 14.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0001 the timing device is at. All we care is whether it says 14 (set it to 15) or 15 (do nothing).
