When you have a last-second shot after a clock stoppage, everyone can see that there is either 0.3, 0.2, 0.1, or 0.0 seconds left on the clock. If the situation comes up during a running clock, the officials should not be concentrating on the clock, but should instead be looking at the hands to see if the shot was before/after the horn (if the shot is off at 0.4, it's going to take that long to look for the shooter's hands, and you won't know whether the shot was before/after the horn.)
