Not quite correct.

DOGMA states that any ball the enters the goal with less than 11 seconds left will not have to be returned to play before the game clock hits 0. There is nothing that states that the balls don't need to be returned (as this could rack up penalty points for a hanger that interferes with the ball return) nor does anything state that the game clock does not continue into the negatives.

We'll have to wait for a GDC interpretation on that when it's asked in the FIRST forums
