I can't imagine anyone (much less you) being so hard nosed in a game that they'll T the coach if the piece of paper with the player's numbers and names doesn't make contact with the scorer's table until 9:59 or some fraction of a second around 10:00.
I think (but maybe I'm wrong) that Maven is the one splitting hairs. I'm just responding to his (in my view) incorrect statement on what heppens when a clokc first changes from 10:01 to 10:00.

I agree it probably doesn't matter (to me) in this case, but it can matter if we use the clock to judge 10 seconds or if the clock shows 0:00 (no tenths) and the horn hasn't sounded, etc.
