The NBA uses Precision Time (the wireless timing system that uses a belt pack/microphone attached to each official's whistle). Because of this, there is no "lag time" principle. The only "lag" is between the time the violation or foul occurs and when the whistle is blown.

Clearly, the official cannot blow the whistle at the exact time the violation occurs, hence to 0.6 seconds on the clock.
