However, by reading it in a certain way, I can see where it can appear to be non-contradictory.

"turned off" and "remains off" are not synonymous.
A gets the ball with 29 seconds left. Shot clock it turned off. A attempts a try that hits the rim and A gets a rebound with 25 seconds left -- shot clock it tuned back on and is set to 20 seconds.
