The other point is that when a team retains control of the ball in the frontcourt after a foul, they don't need the extra 10 seconds on the shot clock. They're not bringing the ball up from the backcourt. They only need 20 to get to a shot. I don't know which is the right answer here but I can see arguments for both possibilities. You could even argue that since they actually scored points, 20 is more appropriate. That logic, however, would make the reset depend not on the ball hitting the rim but on the make and I'm pretty sure that isn't it.
