A few thoughts from the table
(1) Starting the clock and starting the 10-second count are not concurrent in this case.
(2) Assuming even a full second lag time, your count was 8.7 seconds. No offense, but a clock does a better job counting here than your arm.
(3) If you are sure that your 10 second count was accurate, then the fans are actually "right" (did I just say that?!!?!?). You had specific knowledge of the time involved (ten seconds - actually a few tenths more, but you can only go with what you know - no guessing until NBA) and should have set the clock to 8.9. (NF Rule 5-10)
These are not fun situations to be in, but I don't think anyone did anything "wrong." You had a ten second count, and the timer started and stopped the clock within reason. Just hope that the last 9.2 seconds will run FAST!
