Yet another hoops rules question

I don't understand the answers here.

If he is fouled with time on the clock, and if the clock would be reset to 0.1 or whatever, then how doesn't the shot count? How can the shot come after the buzzer if the clock theoretically stops on the foul? Am I missing something?

I agree, it doesn't make much sense. However, under NFHS rules (used by all 50 states for High School games, I believe), it would be two shots, no basket. There is a "lag rule", something about the normal time it takes the timer to react to the whistle. If it is 1 second or less, then no time is put back on the clock. So if the foul happens and the official sees say 0.4, but the clock continues to run and the horn goes off before the release, it would be two shots for the foul in the act of shooting, but don't count the basket.

The lag rule would apply on other situations as well. If the ball goes OOB and the official sees 0.8 on the clock but it runs out, no time is put back on the clock. If the same thing happened and the official saw 1.3 and it ran out (or stopped at 0.2 or 0.1), he'd have the clock reset to 1.3.
