When definitive information is unattainable with the use of the monitor, the original call stands.

It would seem that the horn is the first determinate. However, by implication, if the shot clock shows a definitive reading of zeros then the shot clock can be used.

In that case, I have 2 questions, out of sheer, morbid curiosity:
1) Did the replay that the officials used have audio, or video only? And
2) Is the horn synched with the clock, or controlled manually?
If the answer to (1) is “video only”, then they made the wrong call. But if the replay had audio, they may have gotten the call right.
If the answer to (2) is “synched”, then it is what it is. But if the horn is controlled manually, then the home team will always have a chance to do some “cooking” in situations like this.
