I would think that the clock would not stop until we see the ball miss the rim. If the shot clock sounds and the ball does subsequently hit the rim, the clock would not have stopped. So what would we do in this situation? What would we do if the officials DID NOT have correct timing information?

Scott,
When we determine a shotclock violation, we blow the whistle.
If our whistle beats the horn, and we do not have definite knowledge of the time, I think we have to allow for the 1 second lapse time of the time keeper and call the period completed, or we may go to the monitor that is acceptable by rule.
If the whistle is at the same time as the horn, that period ends on the violation.
