Bob and Dan_Ref--
I don't disagree with what you have said, I am telling everyone what I have been instructed. It is true that the shot clock may be different, but the vast majority of the time, the clocks will start together. Richard Ogg gives good advice...check the clock before you blow your whistle. IMO, if someone is consistantly calling violations with a number higher than 25 on the shot clock, that someone will not have a job very long. I know that the rule book sides with doing this occasionally, but doing it very much is going to cause you and your assignor grief. Assignors, in my experience, are looking to minimize grief in their lives.
As to a player getting clobbered while you are looking at the shot clock...if it takes you that long to located and asertain the needed information from the clock, perhaps you are not ready to officiate games with a shot clock. Stay with the play first.
