So that would mean that one second has elapsed when the clock goes to 23, two have elapsed when it goes to 22, etc. That would mean that the moment the clock reads 16, eight seconds have elapsed. On the same token, NCAAM officials are looking for continued BC status when the shot clock says 25 (as opposed to 24), right?

When the NBA went to showing tenths of a second with 5 seconds or less on the shot clock, they changed the way their clocks count down. Here's a video to clear it up:
