...Late in the game of the controversial rebound basket by Wisky after the shot clock expired? I'm not interested in the clock showing "0". I'm interested in the red lighting framing the backboard or, if it exists, the red light on top of the backboard.

Those indicators are the official indicators of a shot clock violation, not the clock itself. As some may know, there's a one-second range in the number. For example, when the "1" disappears, it may just mean there is less than one second, or 0.00-0.99 second remaining. The red indicators are precisely when the shot clock expires.

I watched my DVR of the shot in slow-mo several times, and I can't tell if/when the red light comes on. The clock definitely hits "0" before the ball leaves the guy's hand. But that's not the true indicator...
 
The red light that frames the backboard never came on during that play. Does this mean that the basket was a valid basket or that the red light wasn't used during this game?
 
Refs rely on the red light to call the violation. If the light never comes on it's not called unless it's wayyyy too long coming and then the game is whistled to a stop until it's corrected..

Did it cost them the game? Not as much as the 3 prior shot clock violations they were coached into.
 
Good sequence here. Both game clock and shot clock.

Note that the shot clock goes to zero apparently simultaneously when the game clock goes from x:42 to x:41 or possibly just a a tenth or so after. Before the game clock goes to x:40 the ball on the made shot is released.

If 0 displayed means 0.000 to 0.999 then there was no violation - it was the correct call.

Interesting Casebook for NCAA rules.

The shot-clock
horn sounds and then A1 shoots and scores an apparent field goal. The
shot-clock horn is not heard by the officials on the playing court. Play
continues with Team B inbounding the ball.Seems the horn is what they off of.
 
BTW, it's possible that the red light never came on and that there was no malfunction. Obviously, if the shot clock operator resets the clock before it expires, the red indicator never comes on...
 
If I recall correctly, the horn did sound but the crowd noise was very loud and it was a missed call. Even on the broadcast replay, I'm pretty sure they show his still touching with the red light on... but it does not matter.
Missed calls happen all the time. It hurt and was significant at that point in the game (tied it up with 2 min left) however, that did not cost the Cats the game. Multiple slow play trips and several missed layups did them in.
 
The red light framing the backboard only comes on when the game horn sounds and the game horn is different than the shot clock horn. Just noticed in Monday night game on Wisconsin shot clock violation it didn't appear any light came on, just a horn and 0 on the shot clock.
 
The pic that I keep seeing shows the shot clock at 0 but the backboard is not lit up. Therefore, to my humble understanding, it is not a shot clock violation, as others in this thread have said. I have yet to see a pic where the backboard is lit up. Now could it be an equipment malfunction? Maybe...
 
Instead of a shot clock violation, I think there should have been a walk. It looks like he shot an air ball and then caught it and shot it. It didn't look like it was blocked so it should have been a walk.
