It's most likely what happened, is the coach is screaming for a reset, the rebound comes off the backboard, the horn sounds, the kid gets the rebound. All this is happening at the same time and the official could have had a "oh @#$" moment and blew the whistle for a SC violation. Most officials, myself included, would probably get sucked into that one.

I would agree that that situation could be confusing. However, the question is did the ball hit the rim? If it did, there is no possibility of a violation, no matter who grabs it. If the horn goes off, and there is NO SHOT, kill immediately. However, if the horn goes off and there is a shot, HOLD the whistle until it is clear what happens (shot scores, ball hits the rim, ball does not hit the rim, but opponents pick up the ball, or the same team picks up the ball without it hitting the rim). After you know what has happened, kill play if needed, to avoid an IAW/shot clock reset error.
IMHO, why does CA still have a 35-second shot clock? NCAA men changed the shot clock to 30 in 2015, so there have already been 3 seasons with both women and men playing with 30 seconds. I also don't see any rhyme or reason for girls to play with no 10-second count, because NCAA-W added a 10-second count, tied to the shot clock when the men went to 30 seconds.
