I (obviously) can't speak for the CBA, but NCAA 2-13.8 states, "When the shot clock indicates 0:00 but the horn has not sounded, time has not expired." I read that to mean that there is between 0.1 and 0.9 when the clock reads 0. In fact, I saw this on TV during some game over the past week or so. [/B][/QUOTE]

Bob, good point, my understanding was that the modern clocks have a horn at 0 and that the clock does not stay at 0 for 0.9 seconds. I certainly have never seen a clock in a college game that stays on 0 for almost a full second before the horn goes off. However, I am sure if the clock is not perfectly synchronized with the horn there could be a .1 or .2 difference between the horn and 0, which is probably what you saw in the TV game. I do remember a high school gym where I used to work a lot where the clock stayed at 0 a full second before the horn went off. This was a very old clock. The clock operator would actually always tell the officials this so it would not surprise them.
