then how could the clock read anything other than :02?
Keep in mind I will call the rule the way it is written, but just wondering why NCAA and Pro rules differ on this point.
NCAA 2-13-8 says the shot clock buzzer shall not stop play
if it is not recognized by a whistle, so the interpretation
A.R. 33 (your play) is consistent, IMO. But I agree that it
makes more sense to add the time to the game clock, in fact
I had this one wrong on the test until Chuck corrected me.
