Case play 98 explicitly verifies what you're saying, but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me logically. If I'm not mistaken, the clock doesn't count down a second until a second has completed, right? Otherwise the clock would immediately go to 23 when it's started. So that would mean that one second has elapsed when the clock goes to 23, two have elapsed when it goes to 22, etc. That would mean that the moment the clock reads 16, eight seconds have elapsed. On the same token, NCAAM officials are looking for continued BC status when the shot clock says 25 (as opposed to 24), right?

When the NBA went to showing tenths of a second with 5 seconds or less on the shot clock, they changed the way their clocks count down. Here's a video to clear it up:

Watching live I thought this was a 100% violation at first. It really throws you off cuz Blake is able to keep the dribble from hitting the floor for so long you have to be extremely patient to see where the ball becomes established. Plus, I think Lead made the call even though the play was behind him. It could have been C, but I do remember the calling official being almost 10 feet in front of the play.

You remembered it correctly. Tony Brothers came back and grabbed that from the lead. Double whammy.

That makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
