This is not the FIBA shot clock rule (it used to be like this many, many years ago). It's a violation if the ball doesn't hit the rim or enter the basket when the horn sounds during a try.
In other words, when there's a try and the horn sounds, one has to wait and see what happens. It's definitely not a violation when the horn sounds; the violation, if any, always occurs
after the horn sounds. Of course this doesn't apply if a team is still in control when the horn sounds: in this case the violation is immediate.
Of course that shot clock is not regular, since it should always show 0 exactly when the horn sounds. You find the rule in the
"Basketball Equipment" booklet, page 14. In any case, it's advisable to check all the equipment before the game.
