I agree.

It's improperly using the practices for measuring phyisical things (time and distance) to measure a non-physical thing (ie the value of money). You may as well say 14 seconds is equivalent to 14 dollars. Makes no sense.

I disagree. Exactly 14 is equivalent to exactly 14.0. 14 dollars is equivalent to 14.0 dollars. Exactly 14 seconds is equivalent to exactly 14.0 seconds. It is the only sensible thing in this thread.

This whole discussion would go away if the rule simply said "If the shot clock displays 14 seconds or less, reset it to 15".
