And furthermore, you are required to place .3 seconds on the clock. So you know what that means? No catch and shoot on a rebound. Has to be a tip.

So the GA rule requires you to put .3 back on the clock in the following scenario?

A1 is fouled in the act of shooting. Immediately after he is fouled, the horn sounds to end the period.

As far as I know yes. If we have a foul at the end of the period and then the horn sounds, we line them up and shot the free throws with .3 seconds on the clock.

Hey, don't shoot the messenger Snaqwells! :-)

I haven't even found my ammo yet.

Actually, I don't really have a problem with that directive. It makes sense that if you can hear a discernible lag between your whistle and the horn, some time should go back up. The rules don't allow us to do that without definite knowledge, however.
As far as state adoptions go, this may be the least objectionable from my perspective.

Weird...is this only in situations where the officials don't have definite knowledge of what to put back on the clock? What if an official sees 1.0 when he whistles a foul and for some reason, the timer doesn't stop the clock in time (wouldn't happen with our resident expert timekeeper )?

If you have definite knowledge we go with what we know. It is only in this one instance where we put .3 on the clock. It has to be shot then horn, not shot....look up at the clock see 1.0 seconds...then horn.

I've been able to stop the clock before with .1 seconds left on the clock for a foul, of course everyone in the stands was belly aching about it. Generally one of my hands is always on the switch in case a whistle happens.

I've been able to stop the clock at least once on each tenth of a second during the last second of a period.
