My point is that it doesn't matter how many tenths of that last second from shot clock should still remain. The shot clock doesn't do tenths. So the NCAA rule is to put 1 full second back up, even if the officials believe that only one tenth of a second should have been remaining.
In HS there is solid ground for ruling this play a shot clock violation and going the other way.
PS Yes, I too felt that the official was presented with a chance to send the possession the other direction and he smartly took it. He did not make up that PC foul, but at another point in the game it could have been passed on.
