Technically, he isn't making up his own rules. He is applying a rule from another level of basketball to the game that he is working and that isn't appropriate. The NFHS GAME CLOCK rule is very clear. The timer is to stop the clock when the official sounds the whistle, not when the ball becomes dead.
The point is that this is a simple application of the timing rules for high school games. The game clock is to stop on the whistle, not the shot clock horn. Sorry, that you don't like that, but that's the way it is.

Usually definite knowledge relative to the time involved is not available, plus there is some tolerance for human reaction time in stopping the clock. But this shot clock case is a unique scenario for which definite knowledge is available and precise. I know for certain exactly when (on the game clock) the violation occurred. I can't see any reason I would not, therefore, put that time on the clock.

When the ball becomes dead doesn't matter one bit. See above.

EX: Team A has the ball to start the 2nd Q. They shoot the ball at 11:37. Team A's try does not hit the rim and a violation is call at 11:34.
Ruling: Shot clock violation. The officials will reset the clock to 11:36.

I like that NBA rule too, but I won't be using it any HS or college games that I work because it isn't applicable to those levels. If the NCAA, NFHS, or CIF adopted this ruling, then I would be happy to apply it.
