I pulled that explaination out of my butt in a game, and it was an explaination the irate coach actually accepted and could not contest.
That really depends upon the type of shot clock you use. If it switches from 35 to 34 immediately when the switch is pushed, then you are correct (it shows 25 at 25.9; and 0 at 0.9). Most shot clocks that I have seen, however, have a delay so that 34 shows at 34.0, and 25 would be 25.0.
