That only happens with time expiring in the half. The chances of it *also* happening with the shot clock running out such that the shot clock expires and the try is obviously missed before the game clock expires are small. I don't recall ever hearing of such a case.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss it, but it's not really going to affect the game.

I wasn't talking about every situation...just that in MOST situations it will not make much of a difference. I'm aware that there are a few scenarios that could be constructed that it would make a real difference but they're not very probable.
