Which I could see a coach assuming if he did not pay attention to when the player/team control actually started.

This is off topic but to my understanding the NBA which has different rules and mechanics use the non visual count on the back court count and use the shot clock for verification of a 8 second back court violation. Thats why I was really wondering.
I don't know about the nba mechancs but I do agree that if that shot clock gets down to 25 with A still in the backcourt coach B is going to let you know about it and he will not care about the rules. He just wants the ball back.

(Maybe this needs to get added to that huge "Most misunderstood list"...nah, it's got enough things on it already.)
