Here's a scenario for you. Shot clock game. Team A (with a big lead) has the ball in front court with 10 seconds to go but only 7 seconds on the shot clock. Team start coming on the court and then the shot clock goes off and the game clock stops with 3 seconds to go. Would you just tell the scorekeeper to run off the 3 seconds or would you let everyone go to the locker room with 3 seconds still to go in the game?
