As someone who works with a shot-clock in a lot of high school games - I counted 19 this season - trust me on this, I notice when there's a screw-up on a reset. I don't think the offense loses a scoring opportunity if I stop to correct the time. If they throw up an airball and get the rebound but the clock is reset incorrectly and I stop the game the offense just gets the time it should've had in the first place...whether it's 20 seconds or two seconds.
essentially, the resolution to the shot clock isssue (during the game/during the play) is worse than the simple change of the rule.
