That's in basketball. The NCAA rule is that a shot clock is done when the horn sounds, not when the number reaches :00. This is for two reasons: The ref isn't asked to look at two things (the ball and the clock) at the same time. Shot clocks do not run into the tenths of a second, when the clock first hits :00, there are still 0.9 seconds left. Game clocks do go to the tenth of a second, and the horn sounds at the true :00.0.
