I'm aware of that. I never said that the two situations were the same. I merely commented that I like the NBA rule of restoring the time even when the horn sounds while the try is in flight and subsequently fails to strike the ring. I actually like that better than the NCAA way of doing it which is to not restore the time prior to the whistle.
In fact, that is basically my point in this entire thread. The officials need to follow the rules for the level which they are working. One wouldn't use the NBA method at the NCAA level or vice versa. However, some posters on here are advocating using these higher level rules at the high school level. Since all HS shot clock rules are set by the various states or leagues within those states, there is no rule basis for doing that unless these governing authorities publish such. The CIF has not done that.

First, that's a case of the official's reaction time. There's always a bit of a lag time between what we see on the court and how fast we react.

Yep, that's true and that time cannot be restored BY RULE at the NFHS level.

Let's adjust your earlier scenario: In NF, an official calls a travel with 13.1 on the game clock but the clock isn't stopped until 12.7. If any of the officials knows there was 13.1 on the game clock when the whistle blew they're allowed - by rule - to put that time back on the clock. NF 5.10.1 situation C is the closest thing I can find to this situation:

Yep, the time WHEN THE WHISTLE BLEW is what the NFHS rules require us to use. That's what I've been saying the whole time.

The violation might have taken place at 5.1 on a clock which doesn't show tenths of seconds but the clock isn't stopped until 4.9. All that matters is we saw the clock at one number when we blew our whistle and it ticked down to another. In the "no shot-clock try" scenario we know when the violation takes effect so that's definite knowledge.

You totally missed the boat. Definite knowledge of when the violation occurred has nothing to do with this. The only thing which matters is knowledge of when the whistle blew. It doesn't matter if the official was slow making the call. The official has absolutely no rule basis in California (CIF modifications) for restoring time to the point of the violation. Per the CIF shot clock rule that I cited previously, the official and timer are required to go with what the clock said when the whistle blew. There is no CIF rule instructing or permitting the official to use the time at which the violation occurred and the shot clock horn sounded. In fact, the CIF document clearly says that the whistle controls the situation and stops play.
Other states or leagues may have a different ruling, which is fine, and officials working there should follow those instructions. My only point in this thread has been that restoring time to when the horn sounded would be incorrect under CIF rules. I don't see how you or anyone else can disagree with that when I cited the rule.
