Clock Question

[JMUplayer]

I've seen plenty of 0:00 on the clock and shooting FT but the lane is clear.

If you have (no tenths) 0:02 and some people say there is between 2 and 3 seconds wouldn't logic then dicate at the beginning of the game when there is 8:00 on the clock it's between 8:00 and 8:01?

No.

When 0:02 is showing, there's between 2.00 and 2.99 seconds left (inclusive).

So, when 8:00 is showing, there's (theoretically) between 8:00.00 and 8:00.99 left (inclusive). In practice, only one of those values is valid.

Yep, and 8:00.0 is between 8:00.0 and 8:00.9. It just happens to be on the outer (bottom) edge of the logical set.

Anybody ever work with a scoreboard old enough to have the clock style face with hands like in Hoosiers? Good luck figuring out time left on those!

No, but one of our schools used to have a nonworking one up on the wall. Eventually they took it down. I bet those guys on "Pickers" would have had a field day with an item like that. When Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. started out, all the gyms had scoreboards like that.
